The Patriot Post® · Illegals Earning More Than Women

Terence Jeffrey: “If you simultaneously accept estimates published by the Census Bureau and the Chief Actuary of Social Security, then illegal aliens who misused Social Security numbers to work illegally in the United States in 2010 earned more on average than American women did. The Office of the Chief Actuary published an analysis in April 2013 entitled, ‘Effects of Unauthorized Immigration on the Actuarial Status of the Social Security Trust Funds.’ … ‘We assume the average level of taxable earnings for … unauthorized workers equals about 80 percent of the average level for all workers. For 2010, we estimate this average level for these unauthorized workers to be about $34,000.’ … Meanwhile, the Census Bureau’s Table P-42 lists ‘Workers by Mean Earnings and Sex.’ It says female workers in the United States in 2010 had mean earnings of $33,771 (in 2010 dollars).”
