President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge for mass deportations and ending Temporary Protected Status may impact sectors heavily reliant on immigrant labor, including construction, housing, agriculture, and technology. Industry leaders express concern over the economic strain of filling an estimated one million job vacancies. Staffing agencies anticipate a labor shortage exacerbated by immigration restrictions, with wages rising across sectors. Experts warn that deporting millions of workers could lead to supply chain disruptions, increased prices, and delays in housing and agriculture.
