Differences in the cost of living across U.S. complicates ongoing farm labor challenges. Farm industry
groups, agricultural media, and even the popular press have covered declining availability of farmworkers
as well as the increasing cost of farm labor. Many farms have been struggling to find crop workers and to
afford competitive wages. As described in a recent farmdoc daily article, rising wages and expandingmandates for worker benefits will substantially increase farm labor costs over the next decade in states
that account for the majority of U.S. fruit and vegetable production1. One might assume that these farm management challenges come with a benefithigher wages for cropworkers means a higher standard of living. However, absent for this discussion has been the cost of living
in rural areas, which varies dramatically across the U.S and influences just how far farm wages will go.
For example, an average full-time crop worker in New Jersey would have earned roughly $1,600 morethan a counterpart in Pennsylvania in 2016, but these higher wages were offset by higher living costs in
New Jersey's agricultural heartland. After budgeting for housing, food, health insurance, and other necessities, the average Pennsylvania crop worker would enjoy about $2,500 more in annualdiscretionary income. In a similar vein, the actual impact of minimum wages also largely depends on living
costs. A minimum wage worker in rural Washington might be considered middle class, whereas a rural antly higher) minimum wage would likely struggle to make ends meet.State-to-state differences like these have important implications nationwide for agricultural employers
trying to attract farmworkers. These differences are likely to increase in the next five years as major
minimum wage increases take effect in Arizona, California, New York, Oregon, and Washington.However, the effects of these minimum wage hikes may be partially counteracted by rural cost of living in
these states, which is rising faster than in other major agricultural states.Methodology
we looked at cost of living in the 15 states that had the highest ratio of agricultural labor expenses to total
agricultural production expenses (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and states with less than $500 million in crop
sales reported in the 2012 Census of Agriculture). Our analysis used average crop worker wages2 farmdoc daily July 27, 2017
reported in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment Statistics survey2. These figures reflect average wages for manual laborers and exclude supervisors, farm operators and their family, equipment operators, and specialist agricultural workers. Minimum wage information came from state departments of labor (or equivalent). Rising minimum wagesfrom 2012-2016 are part of a longer-term trend. Since the federal minimum wage reached its current level
in July 2009, 27 states have increased their respective state-level minimums. Some (notably California)
have narrowed or closed minimum wage exemptions relating to agricultural workers; however, many state
minimum wage laws still include exemptions for some such workers (e.g., family members, minors, locals
seasonally employed) or establish different minimum wages for different parts of the state. For example,
counties in upstate New York will have a minimum wage of $12.50 per hour by 2021, compared for $15 for New York City and $14 for Long Island and Westchester County. Our analysis uses the minimumwage that applies to an adult worker in a rural area. We do not separately consider piecework, since state
labor laws require, in principle, that piece-rate work provide at least a minimum wage to workers3.Finally, to compare farmworke
