Jordan's sectors add 184,926 jobs in 2024 — JEF
AMMAN — The Jordan Economic Forum (JEF) issued a fact sheet on Saturday, titled "Job Creation in the Kingdom in 2024: Concentration and Beneficiary Groups". The paper tracks net job creation, a key tool for measuring the economy's capability to absorb new entrants to the labour market and mitigate worsening unemployment rates, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The paper noted that results of the 2024 Job Creation Survey showed that 184,926 individuals aged 15 and above had assumed new jobs, while 89,584 others left the labour market during the same period. The paper indicated that a total of 96,421 new job opportunities were created in the Kingdom's public and private sectors, equivalent to around 96.4 per cent of the annual target set within the Economic Modernisation Vision (EMV). JEF said that this growth reflects the extent of efforts made to enhance labour market dynamism and "effective commitment" to the vision's path to generate "sustainable" jobs that contribute to reducing unemployment and improving living standards. For beneficiaries, the paper noted that the new job opportunities were distributed at a rate of 69.3 per cent for males, equivalent to 66,804 jobs, and 30.7 per cent for females, equivalent to 29,617 jobs. The paper also indicated that the largest proportion of job opportunities created in 2024 was in the private sector, amounting to 75.7 per cent, reflecting "success of economic policies and reforms in enhancing job opportunities, despite the surrounding geopolitical challenge." The Kingdom's public sector accounted for only 23.6 per cent of these new jobs, indicating the private sector's "essential" role in achieving growth and employment goals within the vision. According to the report, "a clear trend dominated to prioritise employment of Jordanian workers in the local market, with lower percentages allocated to foreign counterparts." The paper said that the majority of new jobs targeted Jordanian nationals, representing 90 per cent of the total opportunities. Non-Jordanian Arab nationalities accounted for 6.2 per cent of the overall jobs, while non-Arabs received 3.7 per cent of the total posts. In terms of the distribution of new job opportunities by economic activity, the paper noted that Jordan's manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade sectors accounted for the largest share, with equal percentages of 15.4 per cent each. Jordan's public administration and defence sectors accounted for 14.6 per cent, the education sector's share stood at 11.5 per cent and the health sector stood at 10.2 per cent, Petra noted. © Copyright The Jordan Times.

Convert Any Logo to PES File Format for Brother & Babylock Machines
So, you've got a logo and a Brother or Babylock embroidery machine—and now you're wondering how to get from your design to a stitch-ready PES file. Good news: you're in the right place. Whether you're customizing polos for your business, creating personalized gifts, or launching your own embroidery shop, convert logo to PES file format is a crucial step to make it machine-compatible. Need it done quickly and professionally? Digitizing Buddy specializes in turning any logo into a clean, high-quality PES file that runs perfectly on Brother and Babylock machines. They offer fast turnaround, free revisions, and excellent customer service. Let's walk you through the process step-by-step! A PES file is a specific embroidery format used by Brother and Babylock machines. It tells the embroidery machine where to place each stitch, how to change thread colors, and which stitch types to use. Here's what's inside a PES file: Stitch path and order Thread color changes Stitch types (e.g., satin, fill, run) Object size, shape, and angle Machine commands (trims, stops, jumps) It's basically the 'code' your embroidery machine reads to bring your logo to life in thread. Logos are usually designed in formats like: These are image or vector files. They're visual, but they don't contain any instructions your embroidery machine can understand. That's why you need to digitize your logo into a PES format. Digitizing is the process of converting a logo (or any artwork) into an embroidery file. It's not a one-click conversion it's a detailed process that involves: Importing the logo into digitizing software Tracing shapes and assigning stitch types Setting stitch density, angle, and underlay Adjusting for fabric type and machine settings Exporting in the required format (PES for Brother/Babylock) Think of it like re-illustrating your logo except instead of pixels or vectors, you're using stitches. You've got two main options: The easiest and most reliable option? Let the pros handle it. Digitizing Buddy can take your PNG, JPG, PDF, or vector logo and return a perfect PES file ready to stitch on your Brother or Babylock machine. Why this works best: Manual digitizing = clean, efficient stitch paths No learning curve Affordable (starting around $10–$15) Delivered within 12–24 hours All formats available (PES, DST, JEF, etc.) Ideal for beginners, businesses, or anyone who values quality and time. Want to give digitizing a shot yourself? You'll need embroidery software that supports PES export. Here are a few popular options: Software Skill Level PES Support Notes SewArt Beginner ✅ Basic and affordable Hatch Embroidery Intermediate ✅ Feature-rich, user-friendly Ink/Stitch Beginner ✅ (via Ink/Stitch plugin) Free, open-source Embrilliance Beginner–Intermediate ✅ Great for Mac users Wilcom Advanced ✅ Industry standard Keep in mind: There's a learning curve, and while most offer auto-digitizing, manually assigning stitches yields better results. Whether you use software or a service, the basic digitizing process looks like this: Use a high-resolution logo file—preferably vector (SVG, AI) or high-DPI PNG. You (or the software) will trace shapes in the logo and assign: Satin stitches (for borders or text) Fill stitches (for large solid areas) Run stitches (for outlines or small detail) Fine-tune: Stitch angle and direction Density (tightness of stitches) Underlay (foundation stitches) Pull compensation (to avoid distortion on fabric) Most digitizing software offers a preview that shows how the stitches will appear when sewn. Once you're satisfied, export the file as .PES and transfer it to your Brother/Babylock machine via USB or memory card. 2–4 solid colors Bold, clean shapes No tiny text or gradients No photographic detail Detailed shading or photo elements Thin fonts or outlines Complex color gradients Very small text or tiny elements If your logo is complex, don't worry—professional digitizers like Digitizing Buddy can simplify and optimize it for stitching without sacrificing your brand identity. Tips for Best Stitch Results on Brother/Babylock Machines Light fabric → cut-away or no-show mesh Hats or thick fabric → heavy-duty tear-away 75/11 embroidery needle for most 40wt threads 90/14 for thicker threads or tough fabric Always do a test stitch on scrap fabric before stitching on the final product. Don't scale up/down too much after digitizing—it can affect stitch density and spacing. When your logo is digitized, ask for the editable source file (like .EMB or .BE). This allows: Easy resizing Color changes Editing parts of the design later PES files are great for stitching, but not editable—so keep a copy of the master file too. Uploading low-res or blurry images Skipping pull compensation (causes design distortion) Ignoring fabric type when setting stitch density Using auto-digitizing without manual cleanup Forgetting underlay stitches (leads to poor structure) Turning your logo into a PES embroidery file is the key to unlocking amazing personalization with your Brother or Babylock machine. Whether you're creating company uniforms, custom merch, or branded gifts, it all starts with a properly digitized file. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
