Abstract

In 2018, new wage questions were proposed to be added to the Agricultural Labor Survey. In addition, several changes were made to the revised computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) script based on previous research. To evaluate the addition of the new wage questions and revisions to the CATI script, a field test was conducted using the original Agricultural Labor Survey and a revised version. Behavior coding was conducted on a subset of the interviews conducted in NASS telephone data collection centers. The purpose of this behavior coding was to compare interviewers’ administration of the original Agricultural Labor CATI instrument and the revised instrument. Results showed that neither of the instruments was administered appropriately at an acceptable rate. Additionally, the new wages questions were often administered with major changes or not at all. These findings indicate a need for additional enumerator training and a review of the Agricultural Labor CATI instruments.
