Study: Guest Workers: New Solution, New Problem? (PDF Doc)
- By Philip Martin, University of California at Davis. This paper addresses three questions: How many unauthorized workers are employed in U.S. agriculture? How many unauthorized farm workers would be eligible for a legalization or guest worker program that required e.g. 60, 90 or 120 days of U.S. farm work during a qualifying 12-month base period? How many guest workers would be admitted under the most likely legalization/guest worker programs; that is, what are likely exit rates from the farm work force for newly legalized workers?
