minus-squareSeaJlinkfedilink17•1 year agoThe EPI estimated about $50 billion per year in wage theft back in 2014 which would equate to about $65 billion today. It could also have changed a bit since then. https://www.epi.org/press/wage-theft-costs-american-workers-50-billion/ The EPI is fairly leftist economically so make a mental note of that when reading it.

Cool. Let’s see the wage theft stat now.
