Milano Graduate School of Management and Urban Policy. The findings in the study are based on a national survey of day laborers drawn from 264 hiring sites in 139 municipalities in 20 states and the District of Columbia. A critical finding of this national survey. page 17. is that threequarters of the day labor work force is comprised of undocumented migrants. The scope of title III goes beyond the prohibition of the direct hiring of an unauthorized worker or the requirement that employers electronically verify the validity of the work authorization documents they are provided by applicants. It also prohibits persons from recruiting and referring undocumented workers and facilitating the employment of undocumented workers. A number of local governments have taken actions or sought to impose ordinances that facilitate the employment of day laborers. many of whom are not authorized to work in this country. Local governments have done this by providing public funding of day laborer centers that act as gathering places where employers can hire day laborers. and by requiring. as a condition of conducting their businesses. that business entities build and maintain day laborer centers on or near their property to facilitate the employment of day laborers by customers or contractors.
