FOOTNOTES
1. Youram Ben-Porath, The Arab Labor Force in Israel, 1964, p. 35.
2. Simple calculations show that the 15.9 percent of the Arab labor force
released from farming have contributed to the enlargement of the ser-
vice occupations by 4.4 percent, compared with enlargement by 4.1
percent in the traders/salesmen category, by 1.6 percent in both ad-
ministrative and professional categories, and by 0.6 percent in trans-
port and communication. Among Jews, the largest portion of the 5.3
percent of the labor force released from previous occupations seems
to contribute to the enlargement of the professional/scientific/
technical occupation by 2.9 percent, compared with 1.6 percent in
the case of administrative/managerial, 0.3 percent in the craftsmen
category and in the services, and 0.2 percent in transport and com-
munication.
3. In the post-1967 average occupational distribution, the proportion
of the Arab labor force who are salesmen, traders, is equal to that
of Jews (8.3 percent); in transport and communication, the proportion
of Arabs even exceeds that of Jews (5.8 percent, as compared with
5.2 percent). In the latter, Arabs are likely to be replacing Jews.
4. The ratio of Jewish professional/scientific to managerial/adminis-
trative is 1: 1.3 before and 1: 1.2 after 1967, and of Arabs,
2.3 : 1 before and 1.7 : 1 after 1967.
5. In this sense, although rural, the traditional Arab sector in Israel
has a similar function to that of the urban black ghetto in the
United States. As expressed by Harold Baron, ''the dual labor market
operates to create an urban-based industrial labor reserve that pro-
vides a ready supply of workers in a period of labor shortage and can
be politically isolated in times of relatively high unemployment."
Harold Baron, "The Demand for Black Labor: Historical Notes on the
Political Economy of Racism," a Reprint from Radical America, Vol. 5,
No. 2, March-April, 1971, p. 36.
6. Exceptional to this feature is the farmers/fishermen occupation,
constantly declining at a higher rate in the Jewish than in the Arab
structure of employment, regardless of economic crisis or boom.
