Immigration and Farm Labor

Andrews Conference Room 2203 SSH
Thursday, March 16, 2023

This conference for 35-40 researchers, students, and data generators and users focuses on the three major components of the farm labor market: the demand for farm labor, the characteristics and earnings of farm workers, and the operation of the farm labor market, including health and safety issues and labor issues in cannabis.

We are grateful for the support of the ARE and the Gifford Center, the ALRB, and the Giannini, Rosenberg, and Walmart Foundations. For further information, contact Philip Martin.
