  • Majchrowicz, T. Alexander

Abstract

Farm and farm-related industries accounted for 17.3 percent (23.2 million jobs) of total U.S. employment in 1989. The wholesale and retail trade of agricultural products, such as grocery stores, provided 13 million jobs compared with only 3.2 million jobs in farm production. Other farm-related employment sources include agricultural services (including forestry and fishing), agricultural input industries, firms that process and market agricultural products, and indirect agribusinesses.
