In terms of California, there is migration from Mexico to Washington State.  I’m located in Northern California where migration begins in February and goes on through November.  Housing for migrant farm workers in Humboldt is none and recent housing efforts for farm workers in Del Norte county was undermined by the county.   

The starting place for this research is the National Agricultural Worker Survey, conducted by the US Department of Labor. These data are available both nationally and regionally from DOL. Shelley

Hi,

Can anyone point me to a resource with information on residency patterns for Latinos?

I'm specifically looking for those folks who are working in jobs that may take them to different locations (traditional migrant) at different times of the year. 

Also, many folks return to their home or country of origin for extended periods of time - several months.

Is there any literature that gives stats on this particular group of people as related to health care?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hola: 

¿Me pudiera ayudar alguien conseguir datos para personas Latinas / hispanas que no son residentes temporarios?  Estoy buscando información sobre personas que siguen el trabajo y personas que se van a su país de origen por meses.

Estoy interesada en los datos acerca la salud.
¡Gracias!
