An Analysis of the Experienced Hired Farm Working Force 1948 - 1957
Author: Cowhig, James D.
Date Published: 1960
The data presented in this report supply information for the first time on the characteristics of those persons who have done farm wage work for various periods during the 1948-57 decade. Such data are rare for any occupational group. Not only do they supply a better basis than has been previously available for the interpretation of the annual reports on the hired farm working force, but they will also be of value to labor force analysts and to farmers and others who are concerned with the recruitment or employment of farm wage workers, as well as to public administrators and policy makers. This report presents detailed information on the characteristics of persons 14 years of age and over in the civilian noninstitutional population in February 1958 who reported wage work at any time during the 1948-57 decade.
