Defining Undocumented Workers

Message #3820 of 4083 |

Does anyone have a good definition of an undocumented worker? I have searched and I not happy with what I am finding.

This is what I am using so now, but I am wondering if there’s something better:

Undocumented worker – a common term referring to an immigrant or migrant who is employed without legal authorization.

Thanks, Amy
