Well the report is true and people living in Qatar will endorse that the salaries are higher than other countries in GCC. But what about the cost of living in Qatar, the availability of basic amenities to the local people or the expartiates who are working as labourers. Just by giving a handful indivuals good salaries doesn't mean that Qatar is flourishing for all its residents.
For Qatar to reach to a level of UAE, it has to undergo many changes, because UAE totally understands the problems of their locals and as well as Expartiates, whereas in Qatar its totally governmental decisions which are basically based on religious clerics or people who have never faced any general probelms being faced by the local population.
I guess more reservations for people of local population and also to have the expartiate involvement in the decisions pertaining to basic infratsurtuce facilities should be facilitated. Which will bring about a great change towards Qatar being truly expectational for all the people to live in. This is just my personal view
