Indirectly, this decline in agricultural employment can be seen
also as a result of the ultimate shift from agriculture into industry, as
a leading export sector. Reference is to polished diamonds and high
technology products as the export-producing branches for the inter-
national market. This shift is evident in the different nature of agree-
ments signed, for example, with the European Common Market before and
after the 1973 October war,°? both leading inevitably into reducing the
potential employment-multiplier effect in agriculture.
Furthermore, the increase in the non-citizen Palestinian construc-
tion labor force in 1975, concomitant with that decline in agricultural
employment, must be interpreted merely as a redistributive adjustment.
This is to say, the increment one notices in the relative size of con-
struction non-citizen Palestinian labor force must not be explained in
terms of a new demand in the economy for non-citizen Palestinian labor
force; but rather in terms of mobility of an already mobilized labor
force from agriculture into construction. This conclusion is based on
two observations: first, of decline in the size of non-citizen Pales-
tinian labor force employed in Israel in that same period. Despite
