from Part II - Values of Forms of Labor
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2022
Although employers tend to downplay “leakage” from guest worker programs – or guest workers breaking their contracts or remaining after their contract season in the United States and Canada to become undocumented workers – much of the local ethnic entrepreneurship in Eastern North Carolina originated among women and men who were former guest workers.
