The Direct Economic Impact
of Migrant Farmworkers
on Southeastern Michigan
by Rene P. Rosenbaum
Michigan State University
Working Paper No. 56
December 2001
Abstract:
The views of farmworkers and their employers continue to dominate
what constitutes the farm labor problem, but a community perspective is
emerging that emphasizes the impact of agricultural labor on rural areas.
Although studies linking the farm labor population to local communities
are more common these days, few studies have described the role that migrant
and seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs) play in the local economy of a receiving
community. In the rural areas where they work, seldom has migrant and
seasonal farm labor been treated as a community economic development event,
a form of economic change that contributes to the local economy.
