Abstract
The "Unemployment Compensation Amendments of 1976"
31e expected to insure about two-fifths of all hired agricultural
workers. Large interstate variations in the proportion of workers
insured result from their cliffering work histories and state's
qualifying provisions. Of these insured workers, three- tenths will
receive benefits, ranging from about $250 to $1,000 depending
upon the state benefit schedule and the worker's employment
history. Average benefits amount to 14 percent of earnings of
the workers which average $3,613. Nearly one-fourth of the
beneficiaries will exhaust their benefit entitlements.
