Migrant Farmworkers Challenge Popular Image

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1984, vol. 01, issue 01

Abstract: Migrant farmworkers are not a homogeneous group and so cannot be easily characterized. Consequently, the stereotype of low-income, middle-aged, and Hispanic or black applies to only a small percentage of migrants. The total number of migrants, furthermore, is small and most of them undertake migrant farmwork for only part of the year. This article highlights the findings of a 1981 Census/USDA survey.
