The report, to be published on Feb. 11, 2021, will include data for the July and October 2020 reference dates, including annual average wage rates, hired workers and hours worked.

Public announcement of the reinstatement of the federal statistical program is available per requirements of the Office of Management and Budget in a Federal Register Notice. Information about the farm labor program is available at www.nass.usda.gov/Surveys/Guide_to_NASS_Surveys/Farm_Labor.
