The authors-each established in the fields of labor economics and research on Chicano workers-describe the major employment patterns of the Chicano labor force and discuss the historical and institutional factors determining these patterns. This work speaks to the continuing widespread public interest in Mexican immigration, migrant farm labor, unionization of farm workers, Chicano education and training needs, and the legacy of discriminatory treatment against Chicanos. The authors treat the convergence of these issues and their public policy implications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing from census data as well as other sources, \u003ci\u003eThe Chicano Worker\u003c\/i\u003e reports on Chicano unemployment, labor-force participation, occupational and industrial distributions of employment, and various indices of earnings.
