Il, The Occupational Structure of Employment
A. Proportionate Distribution
A comparison of the average Jewish occupational structure of employ-
ment during a five-year period prior to 1967 and that of the Arab labor
force (citizens of Israel) during the very same period points out the
prominence of the mental labor categories in the Jewish employment struc-
ture as compared with prominence of manual labor categories in the Arab
occupational structure of employment. According to Table JJ, 79.6 per-
cent of the Arab labor force seems to be located in manual occupational
categories (this includes farmers, construction workers and craftsmen)
compared with 67 percent of the Jewish labor force in mental occupations
(administrators, managers, clerks, salesmen, professionals, service,
sports, recreation, etc.) The fact that craftsmen and production process
occupational categories seem to represent the largest (24.8 percent) por-
tion of the Jewish labor force, while the largest portion of the Arab
labor force (40.8 percent) are farmers and fishermen and only 10.9 percent
of the Jewish labor force belonged to the latter (and only 15.7 percent of
the Arab labor force belonged to the former occupational category) must not
obscure or contradict the above. Perhaps it reflects the more industrial
background of the immigrant Jewish labor force, and the more agricultural
(peasant) background of the indigenous Arab labor force.
The second highest concentration of the Jewish labor force seems to be
in white collar categories: 17 percent in administrative, managerial, execu-
tive and clerical occupations; 13.1 percent in professional, scientific,
technical; and 12.5 percent in services. Contrary to that, the Arab labor
