OnShoringAmerica.com: Global Disincentives for Hiring Noncitizen Workers Why Isn't the United States Leading the Charge Against Noncitizen Labor Exploitation? While dozens of countries have implemented strong employer-paid measures — levies, quotas, surcharges, and compliance costs — to prioritize their own citizens and reduce over-reliance on noncitizen labor, the United States stands out for the opposite reason: the United States has no comprehensive federal policy that systematically disincentivizes noncitizen hiring or levels the playing field for qualified American citizen workers. Look at the global picture: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Singapore, Canada, Australia, South Africa, France, Malaysia, Bahrain, Indonesia, Nigeria, Switzerland, Egypt, Botswana, Ghana, Kuwait, India, Oman, United Kingdom, Qatar, New Zealand, and Japan all use tools like citizen hiring quotas (Nitaqat, Emiratization, Omanization, Kuwaitization, etc.), labor market tests (LMIA in Canada, Skilling Australians Fund levy, etc.), noncitizen worker levies, and financial penalties or incentives that explicitly favor citizens over noncitizens — including permanent residents in many cases. These policies often include: - Mandatory advertising of jobs to locals first - Higher fees, levies, or taxes on employers hiring noncitizens - Quotas with fines or loss of government contracts for non-compliance - Training funds or subsidies specifically for hiring and upskilling citizens The result? Reduced wage suppression, higher domestic citizen employment, and more balanced labor markets. Yet the United States has none of these systematic disincentives. This is the ONLY Structural proposal to turn this around: drive.google.com/file/d/1ulo…

We’ve signed a 5 year contract with MBPS for slickline services – partnering with a trusted provider and boosting in-country value and Omanization. Thank you to the team who made it happen 👏

Omanis have been the most intelligent all around, must admit. Omanization so actual local Omanis occupy every strata of the economy. Go to Muscat and you’ll see an Omani taxi driver and receptionist. No lunatic vanity projects that burn through billions. Just capitalizing on their culture, history and natural beauty for tourism. Maintaining a relatively neutral mediating role in the region. Democratizing slowly through building a parliament that has some real teeth. Not perfect by any means but smart sa7ibs, wallahi. Makes me proud that many Somalis immigrated to the place over the last few hundred years and even assimilated into the local clan structure.

This is a real problem in the Gulf, many move here and try to avoid giving anything back. Thankfully though Omanization and similar programs exist. Without them these people would run the economy in these countries without employing a single local, and then they wonder why locals resent expat business owners.

The agreement will not affect the Omanization policies implemented in the Sultanate, and all relevant laws and regulations in force about the labor market and investment shall apply to it.

Tariff reductions will lower production costs and enhance the competitiveness of Omani products, leverage Oman’s ports as logistics hubs, and transfer expertise—without affecting local employment or Omanization policies.

Despite the Omanization policy, Oman will continue to employ skilled individuals. Our expectations & views are, that demand will continue, and Oman will continue to employ Indians, MEA officials
