Bracero Program
Mexican males were offered farming jobs from 1942-1964. Known as the Bracero Program, a series of bi-lateral agreements between Mexico and the United States allowed Mexican males to come to the United States to work on, short-term, primarily agricultural labor contracts. In this 22 year time-span, 4.6 million contracts were signed, with many individuals returning multiple times on different contracts, making it the largest U.S. contract labor program.

Ten per cent of the US population was in the military during the war, almost all of them young men.
