4 NAWS Data Caveats This presentation is based on Federal Fiscal Year data from 1989 through 2014, which is available for download from the NAWS Web page: The data are grouped in multi-year intervals to get a large enough sample to make comparisons. Some of the estimates should be interpreted with caution because they have relative standard errors between 31 and 50 percent. Such values are identified with a superscript a.

28 Summary This presentation identified important changes in the demographic and employment characteristics of crop workers. Between 1989 and 2014, the crop labor force: Became more settled, with the share of California workers who were migrant decreasing 29 percentage points and the share nationally decreasing 25 percentage points; Aged. The average age in California increased from 34 to 39 and nationally from 33 to 38; and Became more experienced, with the average number of years doing US farm work increasing from 11 to 16 years in California and 10 to 14 years nationally, and the average number of years working for the current farm employer increasing by two years (from 5 to 7 for both California and nationally). Between 2000 and 2014, the crop labor force: Became increasingly comprised of farm workers with children (from 49% o 63% in California and 47% to 57% nationally); and Saw a substantial decline in the share of crop workers who were foreign-born newcomers, who now comprise just two percent of California and one percent of US crop workers.
