UAE summer hiring: Expats wanted for Dubai government jobs with salaries up to Dh50,000
Despite slower private-sector hiring, Dubai's government continues recruiting skilled global talent and expats across sectors like healthcare, urban planning, and transport this summer.
The UAE job market in 2025 is evolving amid economic shifts and global uncertainties, with hiring showing signs of both caution and opportunity. As reported by local news outlet, Gulf News, demand for skilled professionals remains strong in sectors like construction, banking, and technology, but overall hiring has slowed entering the second half of the year.
This slowdown is largely due to new corporate tax pressures and unclear economic conditions, which have caused many companies to postpone major recruitment decisions until after Q4 2025, when tax filings clarify plans for 2026. AI and automation are also reshaping roles, prompting employers to take a more measured approach to hiring.
Despite these challenges, sectors such as transport and logistics continue to offer promising openings. Amid this cautious environment, government jobs stand out as particularly attractive to expats, offering stability, benefits, and competitive pay. Dubai is actively recruiting experienced expatriates through its official portal,
dubaicareers.ae,
where a range of positions are available, some with salaries reaching up to Dh50,000 per month.
This reflects a strategic shift: while the UAE has traditionally focused on Emirati talent in public service, the current recruitment drive highlights the value placed on global expertise to support Dubai's ambitions in urban planning, healthcare, digital infrastructure, aviation safety, and cultural preservation. Contrary to myths about summer hiring freezes, government recruitment often continues or even intensifies during this period.

51-49 Senate vote: Three Republicans who said 'no' to Trump's 'Big Beautiful' bill
Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky(left), US President Donald Trump (middle), Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina (right) Three Republican senators—Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin—broke ranks on Saturday late-night senate session as the chamber voted 51–49 to advance President Donald Trump's sweeping One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Tillis and Paul opposed the motion outright, while Johnson initially voted no before switching after negotiations. Tillis cited concerns over deep Medicaid cuts, warning of adverse impacts on healthcare access in his state. Paul objected to a provision raising the national debt ceiling by USD 5 trillion. Johnson changed his vote following closed-door talks that addressed his deficit concerns. The nearly 940-page bill seeks to extend USD 3.8 trillion in Trump-era tax breaks, add new exemptions including no federal taxes on tips, and allocate USD 350 billion for national security and immigration enforcement. It proposes significant cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, and green energy programs to offset costs. A revised provision includes a USD 25 billion fund for rural hospitals, aimed at mitigating concerns over Medicaid provider tax reductions. The bill also raises the SALT deduction cap to USD 40,000 for five years and increases the national debt limit. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill could result in 11.8 million more uninsured Americans by 2034. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like local network access control Esseps Learn More Undo It estimates food aid would drop for 3 million recipients.

Debate in the Senate is expected to continue through the weekend, with multiple amendments and votes ahead.

Finmin asks public sector banks to monetise investments in subsidiaries via listing on bourses
The finance ministry has asked public sector banks (PSBs) to look at monetising their investment in subsidiaries by listing them at bourses after further scaling up operations so that they realise good return. There are about 15 subsidiaries or joint ventures of PSBs lined up for initial public offering or divestment in medium to long term, sources said. Wherever required banks should invest funds to scale up operations of their subsidiaries or joint ventures, sources said, adding, banks can look at unlocking value at an opportune time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 21st Century Skills Start with Confident Communication Planet Spark Learn More Undo As a precursor to monetisation, sources said, banks should improve governance, professional decision-making and bring in greater operational efficiency in their subsidiaries. For example, the country's biggest lender State Bank of India may look at listing SBI General Insurance and SBI Payment Services in the future after they scale up their operations. Live Events SBI General Insurance Company Ltd, incorporated on February 24, 2009, earned a profit of Rs 509 crore for the financial year ended March 2025.

'Big beautiful bill': Donald Trump hails 'great victory' as his spending bill squeezes through Senate for debate
Donald Trump. (AP) US President Donald Trump on Sunday described the Senate's clearance of a key procedural hurdle for his proposed economic package as a "great victory," setting the stage for formal debate on legislation that includes tax cuts, spending reductions, and increased funding for deportation efforts. "Tonight we saw a GREAT VICTORY in the Senate with the GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform after the vote. He credited specific Republican senators for their support, including Rick Scott, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and Cynthia Lummis. "They, along with all of the other Republican Patriots who voted for the Bill, are people who truly love our Country! As President of the USA, I am proud of them all, and look forward to working with them to GROW OUR ECONOMY, REDUCE WASTEFUL SPENDING, SECURE OUR BORDER, FIGHT FOR OUR MILITARY/VETS, ENSURE THAT OUR MEDICAID SYSTEM HELPS THOSE WHO TRULY NEED IT, PROTECT OUR SECOND AMENDMENT, AND SO MUCH MORE. GOD BLESS AMERICA &, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!" he posted. In a separate post, Trump added, "VERY PROUD OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TONIGHT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!" The Senate vote on Trump's ambitious bill took place late Saturday night (local time), with lawmakers narrowly passing a motion 51-49 to begin debate on the nearly 940-page bill. Two Republican senators joined all Democrats in opposing the motion. US vice president JD Vance was present in the chamber in case his vote was needed to break a tie. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The bill, referred to by Trump as his "big, beautiful bill", is part of a broader economic agenda the US president wants enacted before the July 4. It includes provisions for extending tax cuts, slashing federal spending, and allocating more funds for immigration enforcement. The bill, nearly 940 pages long, was released late Friday night. Debate is expected to continue through the weekend, with multiple amendments and votes ahead. If the Senate passes the bill, it would return to the House of Representatives for a final vote before reaching Trump's desk at White House. Republicans, who currently hold a majority in both chambers, are pushing forward despite opposition from Democrats and some within their own party. Some GOP lawmakers have raised concerns about proposed cuts to programs such as Medicaid and food stamps, which are aimed at offsetting the costs of extending tax breaks worth around $3.8 trillion. Earlier, the White House issued a statement saying it 'strongly supports passage' of the bill, calling it important for achieving the president's goals. 'It's time to get this legislation across the finish line,' said Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, a former Trump adviser, criticised the bill. "The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!' Musk said in a post, calling the package "utterly insane and destructive."
