National Agricultural Workers Survey

The National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) is a key research initiative in the United States that gathers data about agricultural workers, particularly migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor, it aims to understand the demographics, working conditions, and economic challenges these workers face. The survey collects information on topics such as wages, housing, education, and health, helping policymakers and organizations develop programs and policies to support this essential workforce. By providing valuable insights, NAWS contributes to improving the lives of those who play a crucial role in the nation’s food production.
