Housing in Rural America

Housing for migrant agricultural workers

rural housing, migrant

"Good housing contributes much to the health and well-being of migrant agricultural workers and their families and is important in maintaining community health. It has a beneficial effect on efficiency of the workers and is one requirement for a stable labor force. An employer who offers good housing has a greater chance of attracting better workers who stay as long as they are needed and return another year."
