Migrant and Seasonal Workers in Michigan's
Agriculture: By Refugio I. Rochín Research Report No. 1 November 1989
This study documents the circumstances faced by Michigan's migrant and seasonal farm workers. Information for this study was taken from secondary sources such as reports and census data and from respondents to a statewide survey of service providers. Several products emerged from this study: a directory of service agencies and descriptions of their programs; estimates of farm worker numbers; a prioritization of farm worker needs; an assessment of the issues facing service providers; and an agenda for further research. Most importantly, the report provides an up-to-date analysis of the demand for and supply of migrant and seasonal farm workers in Michigan. The authors also review history to demonstrate that farm labor has remained unchanged in Michigan during the past 25 years. Finally, this study examines farm worker needs as reported by a majority of Michigan's service providers. Hardcopy Price: $6.00
