Texas Migrant Labor. Annual Report, 1972.
Good Neighbor Commission of Texas, Austin.
Organized under a 1943 Federal grant and later constituted as a state agency, the Good Neighbor Commission of Texas is charged with coordinating the work of Federal, state, and local government units in improving travel and working conditions of migrant farm workers. A basic responsibility is surveying conditions and determining problem areas related to migrants. In 1971, the 62nd Legislature gave the Commission the responsibility for developing, in coordination with state agencies, specific programs to meet the needs of agricultural workers and their families. The Commission's efforts are the basis for this 1972 annual report. An overview of Texas migrant labor describes the emergence and final domination of the seasonal agricultural labor force by Spanish speaking people. The following are discussed: Texas agriculture and migrant labor, alien labor and immigration, technical-vocational education in Texas, and consumer state concerns. Current developments in education, housing, health, jobs, and economics are also presented. The trends in farm labor and what has been happening to the local domestic, migratory, and foreign worker in the past decade summarize the data. (NQ)
