Title
Braceros perform stoop labor and hoe rows in a field in California.
Description
Original Caption: "Stoop labor" - monotonous, exhausting work - is an operation no machine can do. Men are switched back and forth from hourly to piece-rate jobs at the will of the overseer, and get paid at whichever rate is lower. (Jubilee: A Magazine for the Church and Her People, April 1957, p. 41.) In the fields, Mexican braceros are needed by growers for the "stoop labor" jobs U.S. workers don't want, regardless of pay - 80 c an hour up to $1,75 for average workers. (Business Week, September 24, 1960, p. 51)
