Cover Story: Small area models have attracted increased attention among federal statistical agencies. The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducts the Farm Labor Survey, which provides the basis for employment and wage estimates for all workers directly hired by farms and ranches in all states except Alaska. Implementing small area models for integrating survey estimates with auxiliary information provides more reliable official estimates and valid measures of uncertainty. The paper discusses several hierarchical Bayesian subarea-level models in support of estimates of interest in the Farm Labor Survey. The framework provides a complete set of coherent estimates for all required geographic levels. These methods were incorporated into the Farm Labor publication for the first time in 2020.
