seasonal laborer

Temporary agricultural worker

A seasonal laborer is a worker hired for a limited period when demand peaks—harvesting crops, staffing resorts during tourist season, or working retail during holidays.

The term often describes agricultural workers who follow harvests from region to region: Seasonal laborers picked strawberries in spring and apples in fall.

The work is typically physical, low-wage, and without benefits.
