#3 There are at the moment about 1.3 trillion Paks working in the Gulf States.

Either this is a BAD mis-interpretation or they have NYTimes Editors working the desk. Who knew there were even 1.3 Trillion (yes, with a T) Paks in the first place.

According to the CIA World Factbook, Pakistan has a total population of 196,174,380 (July 2014 est.). About 36% of males are in the prime working years of 25-54, and it seems safe to assume that no more than half of them, and probably considerably less, have jobs in Saudi Arabia, et al.
