Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Farmers throughout the United States report a shortage of workers. At the same time, there are proposals to strengthen the enforcement of existing immigration laws. In this paper, we develop an equilibrium approach to examine the impact of removing undocumented workers from the California agricultural labor market, and to infer whether there is evidence of shortages using individual-worker data. We find evidence that is consistent with a persistent shortage in some sub-sectors of the California farm labor market. Further, we conduct counter-factual policy simulations over a range of possible policy alternatives, and find that removing 50% all undocumented farm workers from the state would lead to an increase in wages of over 22%.

This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large shifts in the supply of foreign-born, hired farm labor resulting from substantial changes in U.S. immigration laws or policies could have significant economic implications. A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the U.S. economy is used to evaluate how changes in the supply of foreign-born labor might affect all sectors of the economy, including agriculture. Two scenarios are considered: an increase in the number of temporary nonimmigrant, foreign-born farmworkers, such as those admitted under the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Program, and a decrease in the number of unauthorized workers in all sectors of the economy. Longrun economic outcomes for agricultural output and exports, wages and employment levels, and national income accruing to U.S.-born and foreign-born, permanent resident workers in these two scenarios are compared with a base forecast reflecting current immigration laws and policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extract: For the first time, H-2 immigration legislation for the temporary employment of foreign workers has been designed especially for agriculture. If passed, part of the pending Immigration Reform and Control Act will force farm employers to hire either American workers or legal foreign workers. Although information is sketchy, it appears that labor-intensive farms, particularly in vegetable- and fruit-growing States such as California and Florida, will be most affected by the law. Vegetable, melon, fruit and tree nut, and horticultural specialty farms accounted for 6.4 percent of all U.S. farms and nearly 10 percent of the value of farms sales in 1978. Some employers, at times dependent on illegal foreign workers, may have difficulty filling seasonal jobs with American workers.

Download or read book The New Rural Poverty written by Philip L. Martin and published by The Urban Insitute. This book was released on 2006 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration is changing the face of rural America, from Florida to Washington and from Maine to California. Migrants arrive, many from Mexico, to fill jobs on farms and in farm-related industries, usually at earnings below the poverty. Leaders of rural industries are adamant that a steady influx of foreign workers is necessary for economic survival. But the integration of these newcomers is uneven: many immigrants achieve some measure of the American dream, but others find persistent poverty, overcrowded housing, and crime. The New Rural Poverty examines the effect of rural immigration on inland agricultural areas in California, farm areas in coastal California, and meat and poultry processing centers in Delaware and Iowa. The authors examine the interdependencies between immigrants and agriculture in the United States, explore the policy challenges and options, and assess how current proposals for immigration reform will affect rural America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO provided information on the likelihood of growers in California, Washington, and Oregon facing seasonal farm labor shortages in 1989 because of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), focusing on: (1) the extent to which growers were dependent on the unauthorized alien work force; (2) changes growers made in their labor management and farming practices to meet IRCA-induced labor reductions; and (3) growers' views on and use of federal programs to provide legal farm labor. GAO found that: (1) about 55 percent of growers in the three states reported some use of unauthorized alien farm workers in 1987 and about 40 percent reported that over half of their seasonal work force was unauthorized; (2) because about 75 percent of growers stated that they provided documents to aid some of their workers in applying for legal status, the actual use of unauthorized aliens could be higher; (3) about 70,000 unauthorized alien farm workers applied for legalization under IRCA in addition to the 1.3 million aliens who applied for legalization under the Special Agricultural Workers Program; (4) the majority of growers expected a labor shortage in 1989 due to IRCA, but did not expect to offer benefits to attract workers; (5) growers did not make substantial changes between 1986 and 1989 in their farming practices to employ fewer workers; (6) no more than 12 percent of growers planned to provide bonuses to returning workers, new or additional housing, or other benefits; (7) farm labor and immigration experts did not expect a labor shortage due to the poor economic conditions in other countries that would result in alien immigration; and (8) in the event of a shortage, growers would probably employ unauthorized aliens rather than accept crop losses.

Download or read book Three Essays on Immigration Reform Worker Self selectivity and Earnings in the U S Farm Labor Market written by Lurleen M. Walters and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analytical approach uses a treatment effects approach which casts legalization as a treatment (or policy intervention) under the assumption of heterogeneity. The results show an overall positive impact of legalization on farm worker wage outcomes, and with the expected positive sorting on the gains from legal status. The evaluation of immigration policy implications for the farm labor market via the treatment effects framework is a valuable contribution to the literature since this approach has not been used in the context of farm labor before. Given the current strong national and political interest in immigration reform and attendant issues for the agricultural sector, the study is a timely contribution. It should also be of considerable interest to agricultural economists, particularly those working in areas of labor intensive agriculture where labor issues are prime concerns for growers.
