The U.S. Department of Labor is the only national information source on the demographics, and working and living conditions of U.S. crop workers. Since the NAWS began surveying crop workers in 1988, it has collected information from over 30,000 workers. The survey samples all crop workers in three cycles each year in order to capture the seasonality of the work.

The NAWS locates and samples workers at their work sites, avoiding the well-publicized undercount of this difficult-to-find population. During the initial contact, arrangements are made to interview the respondent at home or at another convenient location.
