Like most countries around the world, as the U.S. economy grew, the population moved off the farm in what is known as the agricultural transformation. Today, more than two-thirds of the U.S. crop workforce is Mexican-born, but rural Mexico is undergoing its own agricultural transformation. This talk will discuss the evolution of the U.S. farm labor market, including the roles of immigration and technological change.
