E-Verify Could Cost Florida 253K Jobs

[OfTheCross]

While Florida’s national economic competitors – namely, California, New York, and Texas — have not adopted E-Verify, a number of states, primarily in the Southeast, have made its use mandatory. Using credible estimates from the literature regarding the impacts in these states, E-Verify implementation would result in some 140,000 workers lost, with a net loss of 253,500 jobs in Florida, $10.66 billion in lost earnings, and $1.25 billion in lost state and local tax revenues.
