fact, in 1974 the representation of Arab labor in those categories as well
as in services and sales becomes even lower than it was a year prior to
the war. The latter may be attributed to the economic crisis, during
which Arabs lose the occupational upgrading gained during the period of
rapid economic growth following 1967. This conforms with the rules that
govern black/white labor mobility in the United States, as previously
pointed out by Harold Baron.
Again, this is revealing and reinforcing of the point made earlier
regarding the roles citizen-Arab labor plays in substituting for Jewish
labor during periods of military mobilization, and as a "flexibility-dis-
playing" factor in the Israeli economy.
These roles are expressed statistically in the form of temporary
upgrading of the Arab occupational structure of employment and must not
obscure the importance of their role in the post-1967 economy during
political stability. Further, it is of significance that the non-citizen
Palestinian workers from the occupied territories did not perform this
kind of flexibility-displaying role during that period of military mobili-
zation; rather, on the contrary, the proportion of this labor force in
agriculture and services declined during the war and stagnated after the
war, despite a proportional increase in the sales and unskilled labor
categories. It is of significance also that by virtue of their Israeli
