million in 1974. According to Aviation Week & Space Technology (June 14,
1976),
"|. approximately 60 percent of the total sales value last
year [1975] was from products developed and manufactured
by I.M.I. [Israeli Military Industry]...partly as a result
of spin-off from defense projects and partly from the ever-
increasing need for high-value exports to bring in foreign
exchange, Israel has developed a good infrastructure of
science and technology-based industries whose input is
growing in real terms at the rate of 20-40 percent a year."
These figures certify for industrial growth merely in the realm of high
technology production, let alone diamond products and consumer goods
manufacturing. In sum, these figures are to certify further that the de-
cline in the size of the industrial labor force is more likely to be the
result of higher productivity than a sign of stagnation in this economic
branch.
Kochavi, the Director of Israel's Employment Service, blames the de-
cline in industrial employment on the supply side, not the demand side of
labor:
"As far as industry is concerned, the Employment Service
has found it hard to find sufficient workers for this
vital sector; and although we cannot compel a laborer to
work where we want him to, the Government will have to
find some means of economizing workers to move to areas
where they are most needed...branches such as textiles...
have filed demands for additional manpower, both in
skilled and unskilled. There is a large demand for
workers in the metal works sector, in agriculture and

into services may be interpreted as a mobility from manual blue-collar
jobs into mental white-collar jobs with higher average income. And it is
in this sense more likely to be applicable to Oriental than to Western
Jews, running after higher revenue in order to be able to compete in the
