Israel loses billions annually due to Arab workforce gaps. Discrimination against Arab Israelis comes at a high cost, robbing the Israeli economy of NIS 30 to 40 billion annually. Efforts to improve the economic standing of Arab citizens have been small steps on a long journey. Disparities in education and skills make it harder for Israeli Arabs to find quality employment, leading to wage gaps and high unemployment rates among young people. Structural barriers, such as lack of infrastructure and transportation, further hinder access to quality employment. Investing in education and infrastructure is not only an economic necessity but a moral imperative.
