Cost Rates of Extending Unemployment Insurance to Agricultural Employment

Abstract: This study uses the results of a regression equation for seventeen survey states to predict the cost rate of extending unemployment insurance (UI) to agricultural employment for each of the forty-eight contiguous states. The equation included work force and UI system variables as regressors. For the United States, the cost rate averaged 3.3% of taxable payroll and ranged from 0.8% to 8.5% among states. With hardly any exceptions, the extension of UI to agriculture will not threaten the solvency of states' UI trust funds.
