An ASU agribusiness expert's research found that agricultural employers make more money per worker by offering health benefits.
In this story published April 8, 2025, on The Conversation:
We determined that if 20% more farmworkers got health insurance coverage, they would have earned $23,063 a year in 2022, up from $22,482 if they did not. Their employers, meanwhile, would earn $7,303 in net profits per worker annually in this same scenario, versus $6,598.
