On labor market According to one study, the IRCA caused some employers to discriminate against workers who appeared foreign, resulting in a small reduction in overall Hispanic employment. There is no statistical evidence that a reduction in employment correlated to unemployment in the economy as a whole or was separate from the general unemployment population statistics.[3] Another study stated that if hired, wages were being lowered to compensate employers for the perceived risk of hiring foreigners.[4] The hiring process also changed as employers turned to indirect hiring through subcontractors. Under a subcontracting agreement, a U.S. citizen or resident alien contractually agrees with an employer to provide a specific number of workers for a certain period of time to undertake a defined task at a fixed rate of pay per worker.[4] By using a subcontractor the firm is not held liable since the workers are not employees. The use of a subcontractor decreases a workers wages since a portion is kept by the subcontractor. This indirect hiring is imposed on everyone regardless of legality.[4] On illegal immigration en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986
