Farmers Say They Need AgJobs, Since Americans Can't Farm Farming groups are back to lobbying for AgJobs, an amnesty targeted at providing large agribusinesses with cheap foreign labor. "Most Americans shy away from jobs such as hand-picking tomatoes or cutting cabbage because the work is seasonal, physically tough, out in the elements and often in remote areas, farmers say," according to the AP. "In February, the U.S. Labor Department issued regulations to increase wages and job safety protections for temporary farm workers, reversing Bush-era changes that farm worker advocates said promoted cheap labor and undercut domestic hiring. The changes also require growers to do more to try to fill the jobs with American workers." |
