Ben-Porath, op.cit., p. 34. Refer to Table 2-14.
(a) Since 1963 Labor Force Surveys do not provide data necessary
for computing the index of differentiation in the industrial struc-
ture of Oriental-Jews and citizen Palestinian-Arabs, which would
otherwise be of special significance for our analysis of the post-
1967 War period and whether the militarization of the economy tends
to increase or decrease differentiation in this particular case.
(b) Although both use occupational and industrial categories of the
1961 classification, we cannot compare Ben-Porath's Table 2-14 with
ours because he restricted his analysis to employed men, excluding
women, and also to mobile, i.e., commuter Arab labor only, excluding
those employed in their place of residence. He did so in order to
reduce biases of agricultural employment of women and low rates of
participation in the labor course.
In order to be able to compare ours with his index, it will be neces-
sary to apply the same adjustments to our analysis. This, in turn,
will be unrealistic, in light of objective changes such as the in-
creased mobilization of women into the labor force, the dramatic de-
cline in the traditional agricultural employment, and the penetra-
tion of Jewish industrial capital into Arab residential villages——
so the distinction between the sexes, and between mobile and non-
mobile labor is no longer valid in the post-1967 era.
Most of the service labor force is probably employed by UNWRA (Uni-
ted Nations Work and Relief Association), associated with its
bureaucracy.
Refer to Footnote in Chapter
We must remember that the figure 18 percent in Table FF, as the
portion of the Israeli-Arab male labor force employed in construc-
tion, refers to the recession period. In 1966 it was 22.1 percent
and in 1965, the peak of the construction boom, it reached 24.2
percent. Source: Statistical Abstract of Israel, No. 2, 1969,
