placing Jewish labor temporarily released into the army. An occupational
ceiling is necessary for protecting the Jewish State from its Arab national
minority precisely during her war engagements with the surrounding Arab
world. This temporary penetration of Arabs into occupations that are
during periods of political stability, restricted mainly to Jews, is an
observation later on reinforced also by our index of differentiation. The
dynamics of demand for citizen-Arab labor in Israel are not peculiar to
that specific context. These dynamics are, indeed, not unlike those of
demand for black labor in the United States. As Harold Baron documents:
"The history of the demand for black labor in the post-war
period showed the continued importance of wartime labor
scarcities. The new job categories gained during World
War II essentially were transferred into the black sectors
of the labor market....In reconversion and the brief 1948-
1949 recession, blacks lost out disproportionately on the
better jobs. However, the Korean War again created an in-
tense labor shortage, making black workers once more in
demand, at least until the fighting stopped.
The period of slow economic growth from 1955 to the early
1960s saw a deterioration in the relative position of
blacks....The civil rights protests had generated little
in the way of new demand. Only the coincidence of the
rebellion of Watts, Newark, and Detroit with the escalation
of the Vietnam War brought about a sharp growth in demand
for black labor." 7
Baron further indicates that
" ..in a tight labor market the undesirable jobs that
whites leave are filled out of this labor reserve so that
in time more job categories are added to the black sector
of the labor market. If the various forms of disguised
unemployment and subemployment are all taken into account,
black unemployment rates can run as high as three or four
times those of whites in specific labor markets in reces-
sion periods." 8
