FARMWORKERS’ RIGHTS UNDER STATE EMPLOYMENT LAWS: AN INTERACTIVE MAP
Farmworkers today continue to fight for equal protection under employment and labor laws. This interactive map and database of state laws reveal the discriminatory denial of labor protections in many state laws which contributes to unsafe working conditions, lower wages, and high rates of poverty among farmworkers.
No state selected.

Agricultural workers are covered by the state minimum wage law, but have a lower wage than other workers
Some agricultural workers are covered by the state minimum wage law, but with limitations or exceptions
Agricultural workers are not covered by the state minimum wage law
State doesn't have a state minimum wage law
The Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes that agricultural workers are covered by the federal minimum wage (with some limited exceptions). Therefore, in states where there is no minimum wage law or where farmworkers are not covered by the state minimum wage, federal law still applies and farmworkers generally should be paid at least the federal minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 per hour.
