Abstract

Agricultural labor data provide information for monitoring the performance of U.S. agriculture, examining the economic well-being of farmworkers, and analyzing farm labor policies and legislation. This report identifies, describes, and compares various data sources used to analyze the different components of the agricultural work force, and alerts the reader to differences in data sources that complicate comparisons. The data sources differ by population universe, degree of coverage, frequency of data collection, concepts and definitions, age criteria, employment reference period, and published versus other available data.
