I had mentioned that Israel has the world’s highest per capita number of lawyers.
In response, someone who lived in Israel, said that there is a shortage of Mechanics and tradesmen (skilled blue collar labor I presume) and they can make a ‘bundle’.
Is that true? Could Roy the grease monkey down the street make 3x his current salary changing out timing belts in Jaffa?
Should we expect a mass exodus of hillbilly Carpenters to the holy land?
According to Wikipedia, thousands of Palestinians used to be employed in blue-collar jobs in Israel, but with the separation of the two populations, Israel “gradually replaced most of the Palestinians with migrants from Thailand, Romania and elsewhere.”
