Abstract

Following the 1967 Six Day War, Arab residents of territories administered by Israel began to enter the Israeli labor market in large numbers. This study focuses on the distribution and change in their occupational status relative to other major ethnic groups in the Israeli economy Data from labor force surveys in Israel and the administered territories for 1969, 1975, and 1981 reveal that noncitizen Arabs initially entered low status occupations and. later, increasingly permeated positions at the bottom of the occupational structure. These results are consistent with models of ethnic succession and labor market discrimination, and they underscore parallels between the case of noncitizen Arabs in Israel and the disadvantageous circumstances of migrant labor in other societies.
