As indicated also by Ben Porath, “much of the Government and public
services supplied to the Arab population emanate from central offices
staffed by Jews and situated in Jewish districts. Central offices for
managing the Arab minority affairs are usually staffed by Sephardic/
Oriental Jews. This dimension in the occupational structure of employ-
ment reflects a carefully calculated control policy; most effective of
all is control through demoralization by means of educational curriculum,
designed by members and ideologues of the Zionist ruling class and imple-
mented by Arab teachers. This is not the place to examine the long-term
effectiveness of this policy; it is only to point out a very important
question for future research.
If we compare these features characterizing the average Jewish and
Arab occupational structure of employment prior to 1967 with those pre-
valent in the average occupational structures five years after 1967, we
first notice a persistence in the main features of both structures, in
spite of the differences. For example, with a dramatic decline in the
percentage of Arabs who are farmers (from 40.8 to 24.9), this category
continues to be the largest in the Arab occupational structure. The de-
cline in the proportion of the labor force in this occupational category
applies to both Arabs and Jews alike.
In the case of Arabs, however, farming seems to be the only occupa-
tional category to release labor into other occupations, while in the
case of Jews, not only farmers, but also traders, construction and mine
workers are moving away into new occupational categories.
