geoisie into the "New" petty bourgeoisie.
In the case of those members of the Jewish industrial labor force
who have previously performed capitalist productive labor categories and
formed a part of the working class, they are then definitely going through
a deproletarianization process by entering public service and becoming a
part of the "New" petty bourgeoisie.
Although industrial capital is essentially productive capital, capi-
talist industrial production generates also unproductive labor categories
and therefore unproductive wage-earning laborers, such as the case in
foremenship, a labor category that becomes necessary precisely to promote
the productivity of productive labor, especially in the case of concentra-
ted industries. Although they are employees of productive capital, these
wage-earners perform unproductive labor and therefore do not form a part of
the working class. They, also, belong to the "New" petty bourgeoisie.
Therefore, in cases where Jews who are becoming public service employees
have previously performed unproductive wage-earning labor categories in
industry, their mobility within the technical division of labor is not
accompanied by any transformation in their class-location. They were and
have managed to remain a part of the "New" petty bourgeoisie. Such cases
are more likely to apply to Jews of Western origins, including Sabras.
In sum, Jewish labor mobility from industry into services does not
necessarily signify a deproletarianization trend; since not every member
of the industrial labor force has been a proletariat. Definitely no de-
proletarianization is involved in the mobility of self-employed agricul-
tural workers into service as the case among many Oriental-Jews and
Palestinian Arabs, specifically women.
