Challenges of Agricultural Workers in the United States, 1949-08-22

The document discusses the issue of agricultural workers in the United States, particularly the importation of foreign workers under international agreements. It highlights the unemployment among American citizens and questions the need for bringing in foreign workers when there are already enough agricultural workers in the country. The document also criticizes the United States Employment Service for not prioritizing the recruitment of American workers and for potentially exploiting foreign workers. It suggests that American citizens should be given preference for agricultural jobs, especially considering the high unemployment rate.
