THREAD: New @FWDus blog - 12 states will account for three-quarters of lost jobs if DACA ends.

Here are some updated projections of the impacts on state employment if the Supreme Court allows the Trump Administration to fully end DACA policy

fwd.us/news/daca-stat…
If the Supreme Court allows the Trump Administration to fully end DACA and work authorization for Dreamers, three-quarters of the roughly 24,040 jobs that will be lost each month will be concentrated in 12 states across the country.

fwd.us/news/daca-expi…
Economic consequences of ending DACA will be shouldered by states & communities where Dreamers live; if DACA recipients can't renew/maintain work authorization, employers will be forced to terminate their employment, incurring significant turnover costs and leaving jobs unfilled
These 12 states would each lose an average of 1,670 jobs each month, w/ CA (6,860) and TX (3,970) seeing largest average monthly losses. Other states would also be substantially impacted, including NY (1,060) and FL (930) GA (770) and CO (540).
These states are generally at full employment, and many of have unemployment rates under the national average of 3.6%. In these tighter labor markets, DACA recipients are filling critical roles where their contributions will be sorely missed.
Main street businesses like retail shops and restaurants would be hit hardest, as these are the industries where the most DACA recipients are employed.

But ending work authorization would also force thousands of teachers and health services workers out of the workforce, causing massive disruptions for the vulnerable communities they serve.

When DACA first came before the Supreme Court, states and cities across the country filed briefs attesting to the economic consequences of ending the policy. Read here:
