Immigration Reform Still Vital to Food and Agriculture Industries
Workers Still Hard to Find for Labor-Intensive or Seasonal Jobs
While the recession has hurt the construction and hospitality industries, other industries that traditionally employ immigrant workers are still going strong. Even in recession, the agricultural, food processing and nursery-landscape industries are struggling to find willing labor. Though U.S. unemployment nears 10 percent, companies in these sectors still depend on immigrants to fill the void. In contrast to immigrant workers, who are more flexible and relocate more readily, newly-unemployed, skilled U.S. workers typically aren’t interested in these lower-paying, physically-demanding and seasonal jobs. Immigrants are more likely to accept short-term, seasonal jobs that last only three to six months and are often located in
remote areas.
“Even at a time of rising unemployment, there is a need for rational immigration reform to ensure a willing and able workforce for the food and ag industries,” contends Daryn McBeth, president Minnesota Agri-Growth Council.
