Diagram 9 shows the distribution of query subjects in relation to the largest sectors of employment, and for Palestinian workers (where there is a small degree of duplication due to the fact that some of the Palestinians are employed in construction and agriculture). The graph demonstrates the important issues in each sector and can provide the Unit an indication of the areas that require increased explanatory activity among foreign workers to help them exercise their rights. It also points to the problems occupying those working in home caregiving with regard to their social benefits, salaries, and the termination of their employment. The construction sector shows a high number of queries on issues of salaries, social benefits, and work permits. In agriculture, the subject with the highest number of queries is pension and compensation, while among Palestinians the leading subjects were salaries and social benefits.
