ID and Tax: A Practical Fix for the Growing Problem of Worker Misclassification ([link removed]) - America’s workforce shortage is deepening due to declining birth rates and decades of underinvestment in vocational training, while needed reforms like apprenticeships will take years to deliver relief. At the same time, widespread worker misclassification has weakened the employer-employee model of employment, draining Social Security and Medicare, suppressing wages, eroding skills and safety training, and treating vulnerable workers as disposable. An ID and Tax solution that pairs a method for long-time unauthorized immigrant workers who can pass background checks to earn employment authorization with clear worker classification guidelines and increased employment tax compliance enforcement offers a practical way to enhance the workforce, increase fiscal revenues and wages, and restore the economic
foundations that built the American middle class.
