TY - JOUR AU - Rosenberg, Howard R. TI - SAW employment data and the need for RAWs JF - California Agriculture JO - Calif Agr Y1 - 1989/05/01 VL - 43 IS - 3 SP - 35 EP - 37 PB - University of California Agriculture and Nature Resources SN - 0008-0845 UR - http://www.ucanr.edu/sites/calagjournal/archive/?article=ca.v043n03p35 AB - The 1986 immigration reform act allows “replenishment agricultural workers” to obtain legal resident status beginning October 1989, if farm labor shortages are projected. Federal agencies have to decide how many RAWs to admit and who they will be. Rules recently developed by the Departments of Labor, Agriculture, and Justice to generate data for these determinations hold great significance for employers, workers, and researchers.
