\n\t\t\t\tIn the West Bank, mining, quarrying and manufacturing accounted for 14% of both GDP and employment in Q1\/2011. The remaining sectors, namely construction and agriculture, fishing and forestry, actually employed a greater proportion of workers than their relative contribution to GDP. In the case of Gaza, the following sectors produced proportionately less than they employed: mining, quarrying and manufacturing; commerce, restaurants and hotels; transportation, storage and communication.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
