The working classes, particularly labourers, living in Balochistan, who in the past happened to earn bread and butter for their families in other provinces, are now enjoying the luxury of jobs in their own province thanks to the projects initiated under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
According to the available details, as many as 280 or 94 percent locals persons were working at the Gwadar port alone, while on Gwadar bay Eastway there are 697 or 98 percent local people engaged.
The CPEC projects have been recognized as the game-changer for Pakistan economy and the generation of jobs for locals was one of its major benefits.
