Abstract
Recent studies reveal that the supply of farm workers from rural Mexico, the main source of labor for California agriculture, is decreasing (Charlton and Taylor, 2016). Because the vast majority of hired farm workers in the United States are from Mexico, a negative trend in farm labor migration from Mexico creates challenges for California farmers. For example, Rutledge and Mérel (2022) find that the declining farm labor supply could have economically significant impacts for California’s specialty crop producers, with potential losses in the billions of dollars over the course of a decade.
