Legal Status and Earnings of Agricultural Workers

Sabrina Isé and Jeffrey Perloff

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1995, vol. 77, issue 2, 375-386

Abstract: Agricultural workers who work in the United States earn 15% more on average than do undocumented workers. These earnings differentials vary substantially with demographic characteristics. For example, much of the weekly earnings loss from not having legal status can be offset by language ability. Most of the earnings differential is due to wage differentials rather than hours differentials.
