Synopsis

California Farm Labor, 1918 offers a data-driven view of wages, job finding, and policy debates that shaped agricultural work in California.

This study synthesizes wage practices, labor supply, and government approaches during a pivotal year. It presents a grounded look at how farmers, employment offices, and lawmakers grappled with labor needs and the laws meant to address them, without speculation about outcomes beyond the period. The book draws on reports from farm centers, county labor agents, and private firms to map who worked, how much they earned, and what policies were proposed. It situates these details in the broader context of wartime labor conditions and statewide debates over anti-loafing laws, conscription, and immigration in the farming sector. Readers will see practical data presented alongside the debates that shaped 1918 farming life in California.

• Data on wages, transportation costs, and job finding that reveal real options faced by workers.
• Accounts of proposed and implemented laws affecting labor, including conscription and anti-loafing measures.
• Analysis of farmers’ recommendations and employer feedback for addressing labor shortages.
• A grounded view of how labor conditions influenced crop choices and regional industry needs.

Ideal for readers of historical labor policy, California agricultural history, and data-driven social science. The material is presented to inform and illuminate the decisions that shaped farm work in 1918.
