The average monthly salary per employee's post reached 963 IL. in 1974,
when the country's average monthly wage was 1,542 IL. Included in this
branch are cultural-recreational services, garage repair services for house-
holds, services in households and institutions. Except maybe for the first
category, most likely performed by Jewish labor, it generates the most
menial jobs, hence masking unemployment by means of subemployment. Despite
the alienation from the means of production that forces people into these
labor categories, and the fact that it is basically manual, non-supervisory
labor that is performed in this context, and above all, the relation of
ideological/political subordination involved in the employee's relation to
the employer, still the penetration into these labor categories does not
represent a proletarianization process; the reason being that of not pro-
ducing surplus-value. And therefore, they are referred to as subprole-
tariats. It is so because in the case of hiring a personal service em-
ployee, the employer does not make a profit directly through this employ-
ment; on the contrary, for the household employing a personal service
some additional consumption is implied, hence the potential depletion of
savings that could otherwise be profitably invested. The fact that em-
ployees in personal services are not directly engaged in the production
of surplus value and given the isolation the concrete form of labor they
perform imposes on them, makes them most vulnerable, deprived from the
revolutionary potential the modern proletariat have, and even from the
ability to organize merely for economic demands. In 1975, the number of
personal service employees in Israel totaled 68,000. One can say this
labor force is engaged mainly in an economic activity related to the re-
production of labor power on a daily basis, as is the essential function
