These US Industries Rely On Undocumented Immigrant Workers The Most
Following his US election win, Donald Trump has announced that his administration will use the military to carry out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants โ but deporting millions of the workers propping up America's labor force will have a staggering impact on the country's economy.
In fact, Trump's mass deportation program could shrink the US's GDP by as much as 4.2 to 6.8 percent.
Using data from the American Immigration Council, Visual Capitalist charted the US industries that rely on illegal immigration the most.
Construction employs the most undocumented immigrants, at 1,544,600, or around 13.7 percent of the industry's workforce.
While hospitality employs the second-highest number of undocumented workers (1,002,200), agriculture ranks second among the industries relying most heavily on illegal immigrants to make up the workforce (12.7 percent).
