With Dubai World firing approximately 12,000 people globally – and the conglomerate’s future in question – it doesn’t seem that either Dubai, or the rest of the UAE, is out of the woods just yet.

However, not all respondents are negative: 27 percent said they think the economy is recovering, while 8 percent claim to have job security.
