of Arab farmers released from their previous occupation are entering ser-
vices, while the largest portion of Jews released from previous occupa—
tions to which they belonged in the pre-196/ period are now entering pro-
fessional, technical and scientific positions.” Of course, put this way,
this pattern assumes no change -~- no new elements entering the labor
force. Put differently, however, on the basis of a more realistic assump-
tion, the same pattern of occupational mobility can be stated this way:
new elements entering the Arab labor force in the post-1967 period are,
instead of becoming farmers, responding to demand in all occupational
categories, especially services, while new elements (most likely to be
immigrants) entering the Jewish labor force, as well as those released
from previous occupations, are responding mainly to demand in the profes-
sional/scientific labor market. This direction of mobility carries a
special significance to our analysis and is only consistent with major
transformations in the Israeli economy, specifically the shift into high
technology production following the 1967 war. The latter has intensified
the demand for scientists and sophisticated engineers, hence the prominent
enlargement of this occupational category.
In sum, the direction of Jewish as well as Arab labor mobility is
generally from occupations related to less strategic industries into oc-
cupations that are related to more strategic industries, while following
the same general rule, Arabs, however, seem to follow the very route
of Jewish labor mobility; they are moving from the least into the - تاريخ
