Of the 472 civilian occupations, only six are majority immigrant (legal and illegal). These six occupations account for 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce. Moreover, native-born Americans still comprise 46 percent of workers even in these occupations.
We find that there are no occupations in the United States in which a majority of workers are illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrants work mostly in construction, cleaning, maintenance, food service, garment manufacturing, and agricultural occupations. However, the overwhelming majority of workers even in these areas are native-born or legal immigrants.
Although illegal immigrants comprise a large share of workers in agriculture, farm workers are only a tiny share of the total labor force. Consistent with other research, just 5 percent of all illegal immigrants work in agriculture.
I wonder what percentage of drug dealers and that industries workers are illegal aliens? I also wonder what percentage of prisoners in prisons are illegals? I wonder what percentage of outstanding warrants belong to illegals?
Once five million or more illegals get work permits won’t they be taking jobs away from obama’s biggest constituency blacks?
