The piece argues that valley housing and climate attract workers but seasonal migration limits steady pay. It notes 100,000 to 125,000 migrants leave the valley each summer, causing winter unemployment around 6 percent. Wage figures range from federal minimums to piece rates, with onions sometimes yielding about 1.50 per hour if conditions allow.
