Estimated employment, wage rates, and origin of seasonal hired agricultural
workers in selected activities are presented in tabular form. Employment information
was obtained by the Bureau of Employment Security from 269 agricultural reporting
areas throughout the country. Agricultural workers were defined as those engaged in
the production of agricultural crops or livestock and in closely related on-farmactivities such as post-harvest storzige, sorting, and packing which do not materiallychange the product from its original form. Seasonal hired workers were defined asthose who were hired or assigned to work on any one farm or establishment for less
than a continuous 150-day period in the course of a year. In-season farm laborcash-wage rates were tabulated by agricultural reporting area according to crop andactivity as either hourly wage rate or piece work rate. (DM)

The Employment and Wage Supplement is pUblished monthlythroughout the year and is released earlier than Farm Labor
Developments. Persons receiving one will receive the other.THE7PUbilEation was formerly known as Farm Labor Market
Developments.
Part A
ESTIMATED EMPLOYMENT AND ORIGIN OF SEASONAL HIRED AGRICULTURAL WORKERSBY STATE AND SELECTED AGRICULTURAL REPORTING AREA
EMployment information in Part A is based on monthly reports (E&223)received by the Bureau of Employment Security from its affiliated Stateagencies. These reports contain estimates of seasonal hired employmentin agriculture by crop activity and origin of Worker. The employmentestimates relate td the 15th of each month.
The Bureau has delineated 269 agricultural reporting areas throughoutthe country. Reports are received from each area during its agricul-tural season, from the first through the last monthly period in which500 or more seasonal hired farmworkers or..m foreign workers legallyadmitted to the United States for temporary farmwork are employed.
Agricultural workers are defined as those engaged in the production ofagricultural crops or livestock and in closely related onfarm activi-ties such as postharvest storage, sorting, and packing which do notmaterially change the product from its original form. (Workers engagedin such activities as canning, freezing, and cotton ginning are excluded.)
Seasonal hired vorkers are defined as those who are hired or assignedto work on any one farm or establishment for less than a continuous150-day period in the course of a year. Because the figures coveronly seasonal hired workers employed in major agricultural areas report-ing to the Bureau, they are not comparable to hired-worker employmentdata published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the StatisticalReporting Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which includeyear-round hired workers and have nationwide coverage.
