| Title | The New Rural Poverty: Central Valley Evolving into Patchwork of Poverty and Prosperity |
|---|
| Comments | This brief article documents rural poverty in the Central Valley, contrasting it with the region’s concentrated agricultural wealth. Poor towns grow increasingly so as they increasingly attract Latino/a migrants who are paid little for their labor. The authors suggest modifying immigration and labor laws so that farm workers can achieve higher wages. |
