Agricultural Labor in the United States, 1943-52: A Selected List of Annotated References

Excerpts from the Preface: This bibliography lists publications dealing mainly with nonmigratory hired agricultural workers and issued from 1943 to 1952 and early 1953. The scope is general, in that it relates to hired agricultural workers, their status in the farm working force, and their problems, and also to the labor problems of farmers who hire workers. There are numerous references to publications dealing with farm labor during World War II; many of them are cited in the sections dealing with Government programs, recruiting and placement, training, and women and youth as agricultural workers. Labor requirements relating to employment and unemployment among hired farm workers have been considered, but those related only to crop and livestock production as such were not included.
