If you judge farm labor by the number of people doing things you will have missed the point of mechanization. Additionally, migrant labor and documented or undocumented illegals are not the same people. Migrant labor is going the way of the dodo.
Quote:According to the National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS), around 15% of farmworkers in the United States are considered "migrant" labor, meaning they travel a significant distance to find farm work, typically at least 75 miles within a year to obtain a farm job; this percentage has been declining in recent years.
Curious how they arrive at just 75 miles being a "migrant" distance for stats purposes. If that's the case, then many workers with long commutes into a city for jobs would be considered migrant workers, correct?
It will all be over soon...
