But only 6.2 percent of all E-Verify queries relate to unauthorized workers. Primarily due to identity fraud, E-Verify only correctly found that unauthorized workers \u2013 not all workers \u2013 were not work authorized about half (54 percent) of the time. As a result, the 54 percent statistic relates only to the 6.2 percent figure, as shown in Graph 1 above, and means that of all E-Verify queries, only approximately 3.3 percent are for unauthorized workers that were incorrectly found work authorized. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s another useful truth: &#8220;Westat found that employers using E-Verify were generally satisfied with the program and indicated that it was not burdensome (99 out of 104 employers report being generally satisfied). &#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The USCIS synopsis of key findings HERE HERE is the full Westat report discussed in the media today.
