Farm and Farm-related Employment
New data for 2001, the latest year for which detailed industry-level data are available, show that farming and its related industries provided 24.4 million jobs, or about 14.6 percent of total U.S. employment. Farm production employment, which includes farm proprietors and hired farmworkers, accounted for 3.1 million of these jobs. ERS has released new data on farm and farm-related employment for 2001, and revised the estimates for 1998-2000.
