我查了一下：
CD上有：
拖欠农民工工资问题 the problem of wage arrears for migrant rural workers

又查了一下Google:
Results 1 - 100 of about 36,600 for "rural migrant workers". (0.11 seconds)注意是rural打头哦
Results 1 - 100 of about 885 for "migrant rural workers". (0.09 seconds)

我来说明一下原因：
因为在英文里面migrant workers是一个固定说法，表示去外地工作者的含义。
例如：我家乡在地点A，但是到另一个地点B去工作。那么此时的地点A可以是城市也可以是农村。
但是无论如何，都是migrant workers。也就是说一个大学生到家乡外地去工作也是migrant workers
这里如果专门指农村到城市去打工者，那么就加一个限定词rural
即：rural migrant workers

(待定)

migrant workers

补充wiki上的解释：

It is also used currently for workers from China's impoverished west who go to work in the more prosperous east. People like Wang Binyu, whose case became newsworthy in 2005. According to State statistics, the current number of migrant workers in China is estimated at 150 million, that is to say nearly 11.5% of the population. China’s urban migrants sent home the equivalent of almost 30 billion US$ in 2005.

“Migrant workers"在世界其它地方有不同的含义：

Although the United Nations' use of this term overlaps with 'foreign worker', the use of the term within the United States is more specific. In the United States, the term is most commonly used to describe low-wage workers performing manual labor in the agriculture field. Today in Europe and the United States these are often immigrants who are not working on valid work visas. In England, the epithet "fruit bum" has been used to refer to migrant workers who traven on freight trains and work in orchards. The United States has enacted the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act - 29 U.S. Code Chapter 21to remove the restraints on commerce caused by activities detrimental to migrant and seasonal agricultural workers; to require farm labor contractors to register; and to assure necessary protections for migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, agricultural associations, and agricultural employers.

The term migrant worker sometimes may be used to describe any worker who moves from one seasonal job to another.[1] This use is generally confined to lower-wage fields, perhaps because the term has been indelibly linked with low-wage farmworkers and illegal immigrants.[1] Examples of professions which could be called migrant workers, some of them quite lucrative, include: Electricians in the construction industry; other construction workers who travel from one construction job to another, often in different cities; wildland firefighters in the western United States; temporary/roving consulting work; and possibly even interstate truck drivers.

In America's history, starting at the end of the American Civil War, hobos were the migrant workers who performed much of this agricultural work, using freight railroads as their means of transportation to new jobs. During the collapse of capitalism in the Great Depression, so-called Okies who fled the dust bowl were a significant source of temporary farm labor. Cf. The Grapes of Wrath.
