Can Wages Rise Quickly Enough to Keep Workers in the Fields?

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: The farm labor supply from rural Mexico is decreasing, and household survey data from rural Mexico suggest that real U.S. farm wages would have to rise by more than 10% over 10 years to keep the U.S. farm labor supply constant. Labor-saving practices and mechanization will be required to keep U.S. agricultural production globally competitive.
