An Assessment of the Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Situation in the United States. Volume II: Findings.
InterAmerica Research Associates, Washington, DC.
An immediate assessment of the migrant and seasonal farmworker situation was conducted between August 1975 and January 1976. The assessment described the elements affecting these farmworkers; discussed current and projected changes in migration patterns; analyzed the effects of inflation and of changes in agricultural demand and production on these farmworkers; identified levels and kinds of services delivered by state and local public agencies to migrants; described the size and characteristics of this farmworker population; identified Federal legislation and policies affecting migrants; and analyzed attitudes affecting migrant and seasonal farmworkers. This report presents data pertaining to demographic studies of farmworkers; income; age and family size; racial/ethnic composition of the work force; agricultural mechanization; regional unemployment; inflation and farmworker buying power; manpower training and educational services; supportive services under Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA); labor legislation excluding farmworkers, incidentally covering farmwork, and specifically concerning farmworkers; major legislation and social programs under which farmworkers receive benefits; availability of health care; migrant in-stream and home base housing; seasonal farmworker housing; necessity and inaccessability of services; social programs; and economic development. Appendices include the CETA Title III-303 Grantee Directory, Migrant Health Directory, Migrant Health Project reporting requirements, and the court order in the NAACP vs Peter J. Brennan case. (NQ)
