For Immediate Release
May 9, 2001
ESC Receives Over 3,700 Alien Employment Certification Applications
In April; Year 2001 Total 15 Times Higher Than Previous Year
RALEIGH — North Carolina’s Employment Security Commission (ESC) received over 3,700
applications during April from employers petitioning to hire foreign workers, an enormous increase
over the previous year.
The April figure brought the application total for 2001 (Jan. 14 to April 30) to 6,106, which is more
than 15 times higher than the 396 applications the ESC received over the same period in 2000.
Since midnight on Monday, April 30, had been the deadline for receipt of these applications by the
ESC, the Raleigh central office saw a steady stream of people bringing applications. The last one
was received just minutes before the 12 a.m. cut-off. Since there is no guarantee that the U.S.
government will allow another opportunity like this one for years to come, designated locations all
over the country – like the ESC in Raleigh - were very busy receiving applications.
Applications approved by the federal government will allow those aliens to receive no-fault residency
status. Employers, or potential employers, of aliens had to sign the applications, showing
that a workforce need existed. The purpose of this program is to protect American workers and the
wages they are paid. Since illegal aliens might work for lower wages and, thus impact both opportunities
for domestic workers and earnings they could receive, this program seeks to make sure
that aliens working in the U.S. are legally employed and subject to the same wage and hour laws.
