Stephen Devadoss

Applied Economics Teaching Resources (AETR), 2026, vol. 8, issue 2

Abstract: The agricultural sector is a leading employer of undocumented workers and experiences chronic labor shortages. The Trump administration’s deportation policies have intensified this labor scarcity. The articles in this theme evaluate the effects of deportation policies on labor-intensive sectors: fruit & nut, vegetable, nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, and dairy.
