Abstract

In 2017, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) was requested to enhance its Agricultural Labor Survey to provide a more reflective gross and base wage rate. To accommodate this request, several changes were made to the survey. These changes were evaluated in iterative rounds of cognitive testing. Results of this testing showed that it was difficult for most respondents to report wage rates and piece rates paid to workers. Respondents, who had the ability to report base wage rates and/or piece rates paid, were not always willing to report this information. However, respondents could, and were willing to, report total base wages and gross wages paid to their workers.
