One of the main focuses of Yesh Atid in this last Knesset was to get the Haredi community more out into the workplace than they previously were.
The Central Bureau of Statistics released today some new numbers.
According to the CBS, in 2013 the percentage of Haredi men (between the ages of 25-64) in the workplace went up to 56%. Previously it had fluctuated between 40% and 50% in the ten years prior.
The percentage of Haredi women went up to 68% when it has previously been at about 50%.
So, do we give credit for this to Yesh Atid or was it a natural movement and change that was already in process anyway?
