Over 4.4 million farm operators, hired farmworkers, and unpaid farmworkers, or 57 percent of all persons employed on U.S. farms in 1987, also did nonfarmwork for cash wages or salary. The nonfarmwork accounted for a major portion of their work time and was an important source of income. Relatively few of the farmworkers who did nonfarmwork considered their farm job to be their primary occupation. A logistic multiple regression model was used to estimate the probability that certain factors influenced whether or not a farmworker did nonfarmwork. Age of worker, education level, minority status, head of household status, days spent doing farmwork, and residence in metropolitan areas significantly affected the probability of doing nonfarmwork. |
