In the first five weeks of the Iron Swords War, about 124,700 job seekers registered with the employment service. The employment service points out similarities in the age groups, population and gender between the registrants of the Corona period and those of the Iron Swords War, but note that the number of registrants now is only one eighth compared to the number of registrants during the Corona closures.
The average rate of registration of job seekers in Corona is about 2.9 thousand per day, with the peak in the war being recorded in the fourth week of its beginning (about 6,000 per day) and after that a decrease in the number of new registrants was recorded in the fifth week to about 5.2 thousand per day, a trend that also continued in the first days of the sixth week. This is in contrast to the closures during the Corona period where the record number of new registrants was recorded at the beginning of the closure.
During the Corona period and even now, most of the job seekers who register at the employment service bureaus are women. During the Corona period, women made up 55.8% of job applicants on average, now they make up 59.1%. The employment service stated that during the first closure of the corona, the proportion of women among those registered in the bureaus was 56.1%, in the second 59.9% and in the third 66.8%, and estimated that this high proportion was due to the complete closure of the education system and damage to sectors of the economy where the proportion of women is higher – this compared to Very partial closure of Iron Swords War branches.
The age distribution of Iron Swords registrants is quite similar to that of the Corona period registrants, with the exception of a slight decrease in the proportion of older workers which was 5.3% during the Corona period and is now 4.6%. In all other age groups there was a corresponding slight increase, the most significant of which is in the 35-39 age group which rose to 12.4% from 11.4%.
Even in a comparative examination of the distribution of the new registrants according to population groups, a great general similarity is evident alongside certain differences. Most of the applicants for unemployment benefits in both cases were non-Orthodox Jews. The proportion of job applicants who are ultra-Orthodox was 9.4% during the Corona period and now stands at 6.4%, and the proportion of Arabs increased from 18.5% to 19.8%. The ‘other’ category also increased from 5.7% in Corona to 6.6% now against the backdrop of Operation Iron Swords.
The middle class was hurt more by the war than during the Corona period
Significant differences were found between the Corona period registrants and the Iron Swords registrants in an examination of the distribution of registrants into socio-economic clusters. In the current crisis, the rate of the intermediate clusters (4-7) is higher than their rate during the Corona period and stands at 46.9% now compared to 40.3% during the Corona.
On the other hand, the rate of the lowest clusters (1-3) in iron swords is lower, while in the higher clusters (8-10) it is lower in iron swords compared to the entire Corona period (closures and in between, with the exception of the third closure in which the proportion of job applicants from the higher clusters was slightly lower than its current rate).
