Help Needed!

Continued labor scarcity creates incentives for growers to adjust production practices, technology use.

Workforce development and labor availability is one of the most critical issues AmericanHort’s advocacy team works to address to better meet the needs of the green industry. The 2022 Greenhouse and Nursery Labor Employment Survey was conducted in collaboration between AmericanHort and researchers from the University of California Davis and Michigan State University. The purpose of this study is to help understand the depth of labor scarcity impacting the greenhouse and nursery sectors of the green industry.

This report describes the survey response and summarizes a number of key preliminary findings.
