A great deal of interest has been expressed in the problems of underutilization of persons associated with farming. Most investigations on this subject have been directed toward the underutilization of the farm operator and the working members of his family. Some studies have been made of year-round hired workers and migratory seasonal farm laborers. But little attention has been devoted to underemployment of seasonal farm workers is the concern of all thos interested in increasing job opportunities for agricultural workers. In May 1952, a survey of unemployment and partial employment of hired farm workers in four areaws was undertaken by the Division of Reports and Analysis in cooperation with the Farm Placement Service, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Field survey operations were conducted under the direction of state agricultural statisticians in each State involved in consultation with the State involved in consultation with the State and local employment security offices. A summary report, entitled 'Unemployment and Partial Employment of Hired Farm Workers in Four Areas' was issued by the cooperating agencies in 1953
