Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Migrant workers are not often visible members of our society. They go unnoticed beyond the fringes of the camps and farms to which they travel in order to pursue their livelihood. Most come to the United States from other countries (72%), and of those, about 68% are from Mexico. The average age is 36 years, and the average level of completed education was the eighth grade. Only 6% are salaried, with the majority paid low hourly wages or by the piece. Some are legal residents, but most are undocumented aliens and live in fear of deportation. All endure backbreaking, menial labor for low wages and are often deprived of basic rights to safe working conditions, adequate sanitation/housing, health care, and a quality education for their children.
