Abstract
The 2023 FLC Employment Survey was conducted to collect information on the adaptation strategies of agricultural employers in the face of growing labor scarcity, particularly in the context of recent shifts in labor market dynamics and the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has potentially reinforced the urgency for farmers to modify their production practices, labor management methods, and embrace labor-saving technologies. This report presents the survey's methodology, demographic insights, and preliminary findings of how California's agricultural sector is responding to 2022 labor market conditions.
