The Underground Labor Force Is Rising To The Surface
Illegal immigrants constitute a large and growing force in the political, economic, and
investment spheres in the United States. The size of this extra-legal segment of the
population is significantly understated because the official U.S. Census does not capture
the total number of illegal immigrants. In turn, the growth of the underground work force
is increasingly concealing the economic impact of this below-market labor supply. Our
research has identified significant evidence that the census estimates of undocumented
immigrants may be capturing as little as half of the total undocumented population. This
gross undercounting is a serious accounting issue, which could ultimately lead to
government policy errors in the future.
