Geographic Flows of Hired Agricultural Labor: 1957–1960

Abstract

Data obtained from Social Security Administration records are used to examine whether hired agricultural labor moving from one census region to another within the United States is responsive to economic phenomena. The unique feature of the analysis is its access to data describing gross flows of hired agricultural labor among these regions rather than having to rely on observations of net changes in the quantity of such labor. The general conclusion is that hired agricultural workers are responsive to economic phenomena in the directions suggested by formal economic theory but that interregional movement of such workers is greatly hampered by the presence of artificial barriers to mobility.
