Abstract: The wage effects of seasonal demand for labor in agriculture are analyzed for male heads of households in five rural villages in Guatemala. Controlling for human capital characteristics, seasonal jobs pay 57 percent more than non-seasonal jobs. Controlling for job characteristics reduces this wage differential.
