Legal Definitions - migrant worker

Definition: A migrant worker is a person who travels to a different place to work, usually for a short period of time. They may work in agriculture or other industries.

Examples:

• A person from Mexico who travels to the United States to work on a farm during the harvest season is a migrant worker.
• A person from a rural area who travels to a city to work in construction for a few months is also a migrant worker.

These examples illustrate how migrant workers move from one place to another to find work. They often work in jobs that are seasonal or require temporary labor. Migrant workers may face challenges such as language barriers, discrimination, and poor working conditions.
