Clearly the terms "Employed persons in agriculture industries" and "agricultural workers" have definitions that diverge much, much more than I would have thought as a layperson.
If you expand the "What Agricultural Workers Do" section, it says:
> Agricultural workers maintain crops and tend livestock. They perform physical labor and operate machinery under the supervision of farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers.
If agricultural workers are people working under the guidance of other folks then managers may also include the "self-managed" i.e. any independent farmers including those that rely heavily on automation. There's also probably a fair chance that subcontracting can mess this up with multiple farm hands hired onto a farm all counting as agricultural managers.
It feels like agricultural worker is actually quite narrowly defined to only be unskilled people specifically requiring oversight and management.
>According to the most recent US employment report, there are 145.8 million nonfarm payroll workers out of a total population of 332 million.
ignoring the mismatching "Populations". (261 million seems to be "Civilian noninstitutional population")
This [0] seems to say there are 152,283,000 employed in US.
are there really ~6.4 million people working on farms in US? i thought farm work was <1% of employed peoples.
