Abstract:
Over 340,000 migrant workers, mostly Hispanic, labor on farms across the state. Exposure to pesticides, low pay, poor housing, unsanitary water, and long hours are some of the conditions workers deal with. For the agricultural industry, this cheap labor source has enabled it to rank second in the nation.
