unlike the case in 1967, is evident again in 1973.
The tendency towards equalization in the occupational structures of
Israeli-Jews and Arabs in war-time must not be understood only in terms
of increasing penetration of Arabs into higher labor categories in order
to temporarily replace Jewish labor upon military mobilization, but also
in terms of the very absorption by the military of Israel's most qualified
manpower from the civilian economy. The latter, in effect, results in the
degrading of the civilian Jewish occupational structure, hence contri-
buting to the apparent equalization tendency mentioned above. This is to
say, the decline in Arab/Jewish occupational differentiation witnessed
during both the 1967 and the 1973 wars can be more accurately interpreted
as a result of upgrading in the Arab occupational structure (not exceeding,
however, the level of clerical and public service labor categories), on
the one hand, and the degrading of the Jewish occupational structure in
response to military mobilization, on the other. The latter factor is
likely to be even more acute in the 1973 War, after the shifting of the
economy towards high technology military production.
The narrowing of the gap in the Arab/Jewish occupational structures
is closely reflected in the second row of Columns D2-4, D2-5, D2-6, and
D2-7. Notice how the gap narrows down during military mobilization for
the October War, but unlike the case following the 1967 War, the gap
widens again after the War (most evident in Row 4, Column D2-4). The
latter difference is significant, and it is to be interpreted in terms
of the differential effect the economic boom versus the economic crisis
inflicted on the upgrading/degrading of the occupational structure of the - تاريخ
