U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
★ NAWS is a survey of hired farm workers (including year-round
or permanent, migrant, seasonal and nursery workers) in the
United States. JBS International is contracted by the United
States Department of Labor (US DOL) to conduct NAWS.
★ NAWS is the only nationwide information source that
describes the characteristics and employment profiles of hired
farm workers, and trends in the hired farm labor market.
★ NAWS began in 1988. Since then, over 50,000 workers have
been interviewed.
★ NAWS is strictly confidential. Names and addresses of
participants are guaranteed to be kept private by the Privacy
Act of 1974 and will not be divulged in any way.
★ Farm workers are reimbursed for participating in the survey.

What information does NAWS collect?
★ About farm workers: The survey solicits from each
interviewed worker his/her English language proficiency,
yearly income, use of social services, and access to health
care.
★ About farm workers’ employment history: NAWS asks the
worker to describe his/her work history for the year prior to the
interview.
★ About farm workers’ households: The survey obtains
information on the number of family members, their level of
education, and how often they move.
Why agricultural employers participate in the survey?
★ Agricultural employers and grower organizations utilize
NAWS data to stay informed about important evolving
trends in the make-up of the hired farm workforce.
★ Providers of housing, health, education, and
employment training services utilize NAWS data to both
identify farm workers' needs and to target their program
resources.
