“Trabajando Duro Todos Los Días”: Learning From the Life Experiences of Mexican‐Origin Migrant Families*

Abstract: The agricultural economy in the United States has relied heavily on migrant farmworkers and, in particular, on Latinos. However, migrant families remain one of the most disadvantaged groups in the United States. This research focuses on a subsample of migrant families of Mexican origin ( n = 13), who participated in the Rural Families Speak multistate study. Qualitative findings described numerous challenges that Mexican‐origin migrant families continue to experience. Results were also illustrative of the resilience of migrant families, which is influenced by specific Latino cultural values and is reflected in the successful adaptation of these families to the challenges associated with a migrant lifestyle.
