California accounted for a third of ag employment, followed by Washington with eight percent, Florida six percent, Texas five percent, and Oregon four percent. Between 2008 and 2017, UI covered ag employment rose by eight percent in CA, 22 percent in WA, and four percent in OR, but fell 21 percent in FL and two percent in TX.
