Compare the 2 graphs and explain what the data is demonstrating. Some ideas about what to address, but you can come up with your own!
Where are some types of farm labor concentrated? Which types of crops are grown that are using different amounts of labor in different places?
Does the concentration of farm labor correlate to the wages? How and why?
Does the farm production and food processing happen in the same states? Are they both concentrated in the same ways?
What explains different concentrations and wages for food preparation jobs?
Are there differences that are explained by laws?
Does farm labor organizing happen in some areas more than others? Are any differences in employment concentration attributable to farm labor organizing efforts (or lack thereof)?
For reference:
Location quotient shows the concentration of that employment compared to the national average.
>1 indicates the occupation has a higher share of employment than average
<1 indicates the occupation is less prevalent in the area than average
In 2018, average annual real wages in the U.S. amounted to $63,093 U.S. dollars.
