In light of this detail, it is worth mentioning, though in passing
only, that as the military absorbs the "surplus" Jewish labor, similarly
agriculture is the parallel sponge-like mechanism in the Arab sector.
This, indeed, points out a form of flexibility provided by the "tradi-
tional sector", hence shedding light on one of the reasons why it is
tolerated in modern economies, This is related to why the center needs
a periphery into which to transfer the effects of its main contradictions,
a point to be discussed further elsewhere in the context of uneven de-
velopment and the extended reproduction of capitalism.
In sum, the comparison of average proportional distribution is a
very static method, hence likely to obscure major dynamics of change that
take place during each particular year which may otherwise reveal signi-
ficant facts. It reflects trends in horizontal mobility across occupa-
tions rather than actual changes within each.
B. Rate of Change
The rate of change is a more dynamic indicator of transformation in
the particular occupation within the structures of employment over time.
It reflects some historical dimension of change that the average propor-
tional occupational distribution does not. The rate of change does sharply
reflect a wide range of instability (in both directions of growth and
decline) of demand for each particular labor category; but may not in-
form us anything about horizontal/vertical mobility across occupations.
In this case, for example, the rate of change is not to describe oc-
cupational structures of employment for the Arab and the Jewish labor - تاريخ
