Unemployment Insurance, Estimated Cost Rates, Benefits, and Tax Burden by Type of Farm

Joachim G. Elterich

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1977, vol. 59, issue 4, 683-690

Abstract: Unemployment insurance cost rates for newly covered employers and the corresponding tax burden under two sets of tax structures by type of farm are estimated by state. Livestock, dairy, and poultry farmers generally more than support the benefits their workers receive, which is not the case for fruit and vegetable farms. Under experience rating livestock and dairy farms tend to pay the minimum rate in half the states, while the maximum rate applies for fruit and vegetable farms in many states. Benefits received by workers vary also by type of farm and state and tend to be related to the cost rate.
