The Women's Bureau advocated for female farm employment, a wage of thirty cents per hour, physical ability requirement, and standard housing conditions. The Women's Bureau treated urban women workers as a last resort and preferred local and rural women workers, who could immediately help their local farms. Women that were hired from the WLA did not work much in the fields but assisted the wives of farmers in their daily chores. Town women that helped on farms were seen as too green and generally not wanted for agricultural labor.
