The high prevalence of paid claims for Workers’ Compensation insurance for both men (27%) and women (11%) underscores the serious risk of injury faced by a great many hired farm laborers. As previously reported [Villarejo and McCurdy, 2008], the lower prevalence of workplace injuries among women could be attributed to less total hours of farm career exposure and possibly to continuing employ- ment discrimination preventing women from securing jobs perceived to be more dangerous.
