Apple and Pear Survey

Each year, the U.S. Department of Labor requires the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) to conduct a survey of growers of certain crops to obtain information about wages and employment practices from the current year.  The U.S. Department of Labor uses the results of these surveys to set agricultural wage rates in New York for the following year. Those rates are published in the USDOL’s Agricultural On-line Wage Library.
