"Lettuce"
Understand the Problem
Agricultural Economist Exposes Labor Lie
 |
| "For labor
costs to force lettuce to $5 per head, farmers would have to
pay field workers $280 an hour. At that rate, it would be the
kind of work 'every American would want to do.'" - Glenn
Spencer, 12/26/2001 (Glenn has a degree in economics) |

Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- October 18
Tucker: Philip
Martin, a noted agricultural economist at the University of California-Davis,
wanted to know what's going on down on the farm. Despite the
study's title, "Immigration Reform and Farm Labor Shortages,"
the report itself does not find evidence of a severe labor shortage,
labor shortages said to be brought on by immigration crackdowns.
[...] He says the average farm worker earns $8,000 to $9,000
a year.
Dobbs: It is also interesting that he's also the economist
who first did a projection on what would happen if you raised
substantially farm wages to the price, for example, of lettuce
and the impact on the American consumer, which would, as I recall,
amount to about 10 cents a head of lettuce to provide a living
wage to farm workers.
