E-Verify is a federal electronic verification system that allows employers to check whether their newly hired workers are authorized to work in the United States. To use E-Verify, firms first must enroll with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Participation is voluntary for most private-sector employers in the United States, but eight states currently require all or most employers to use E-Verify. This article uses confidential data from DHS to examine patterns of employer enrollment in E-Verify. The results indicate that employers are much more likely to sign up in mandatory E-Verify states than in states without such mandates, but enrollment is still below 50 percent in states that require its use. Large employers are far more likely to sign up than small employers. In addition, employers are more likely to newly enroll in E-Verify when a state’s unemployment rate or the state’s population share of likely unauthorized immigrants rises. However, enrollment rates are lower in industries with higher shares of unauthorized workers. Taken as a whole, the results suggest that enrolling in the program is costly for employers in terms of both compliance and difficulty in hiring workers. A strictly enforced nationwide mandate that all employers use an employment eligibility program like E-Verify would be incompatible with the current reliance on a large unauthorized workforce. Allowing more workers to enter legally or legalizing existing workers might be necessary before implementing E-Verify nationally.

谁注册了电子验证?来自 DHS 注册记录的见解

E-Verify 是一个联邦电子验证系统,允许雇主检查他们新雇用的工人是否被授权在美国工作。要使用 E-Verify,公司首先必须向国土安全部 (DHS) 登记。对于美国的大多数私营部门雇主来说,参与是自愿的,但目前有八个州要求所有或大多数雇主使用 E-Verify。本文使用来自 DHS 的机密数据来检查 E-Verify 中雇主注册的模式。结果表明,雇主在强制性 E-Verify 州注册的可能性比没有此类授权的州要大得多,但在需要使用 E-Verify 的州,注册率仍低于 50%。大型雇主比小型雇主更有可能签约。此外,当一个州的失业率或该州可能非法移民的人口比例上升时,雇主更有可能新注册 E-Verify。然而,在未经授权的工人比例较高的行业,入学率较低。总的来说,结果表明,就合规性和雇用工人的困难而言,加入该计划对雇主来说成本高昂。在全国范围内严格执行强制要求所有雇主使用 E-Verify 等就业资格计划,这与目前对大量未经授权的劳动力的依赖是不相容的。在全国实施电子验证之前,可能需要允许更多工人合法进入或使现有工人合法化。在未经授权的工人比例较高的行业,入学率较低。总的来说,结果表明,就合规性和雇用工人的困难而言,加入该计划对雇主来说成本高昂。在全国范围内严格执行强制要求所有雇主使用 E-Verify 等就业资格计划,这与当前对大量未经授权的劳动力的依赖是不相容的。在全国实施电子验证之前,可能需要允许更多工人合法进入或使现有工人合法化。在未经授权的工人比例较高的行业,入学率较低。总的来说,结果表明,就合规性和雇用工人的困难而言,加入该计划对雇主来说成本高昂。在全国范围内严格执行强制要求所有雇主使用 E-Verify 等就业资格计划,这与当前对大量未经授权的劳动力的依赖是不相容的。在全国实施电子验证之前,可能需要允许更多工人合法进入或使现有工人合法化。在全国范围内严格执行强制要求所有雇主使用 E-Verify 等就业资格计划,这与当前对大量未经授权的劳动力的依赖是不相容的。在全国实施电子验证之前,可能需要允许更多工人合法进入或使现有工人合法化。在全国范围内严格执行强制要求所有雇主使用 E-Verify 等就业资格计划,这与目前对大量未经授权的劳动力的依赖是不相容的。在全国实施电子验证之前,可能需要允许更多工人合法进入或使现有工人合法化。
