Summary:
This report is a summary and a survey, spelling out the considerations thatCongress found were a part of the realities of agricultural employment in 20th (and21st) Century America. It begins in the 1960s with the advent of FLCRA, andproceeds through the enactment of the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers' Protection Act (MSPA) and to the end of the century. But, it is also a summary of developments in the history of the two statutes, written from theperspective of a labor economist. It may, from time to time, be revised as new developments occur. Thus far, in the 110th Congress, no new legislation has been considered that would amend MSPA.
