Agricultural Labor Under the Old Age Insurance and Unemployment Compensation Titles of the Federal Social Security Act

Abstract

Excerpt from the report: Agricultural laborers are among the wage earners most in need of protection against unemployment and dependent old age. Low wages and intermittent employment frequently combine to make individual savings difficult. No program for economic security, therefore, can be said to be reasonably complete unless some degree of protection is given such workers. It has been established that agricultural workers stand at the very bottom of the economic scale among wage earners. Yet, traditionally and systematically they have been denied the equal protection of the labor laws. Their exclusion from the Federal Social Security Act of 1935 was another example of this denial of equal protection.
