Providing farmworkers with health insurance is worth it for their employers
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.
