The majority of these stolen #wages are never recovered by workers.
Between 2017 to 2020, $3.24bn in stolen wages were recovered by the US Department of Labor, state labor departments and attorney generals, and through class- and collective-action litigation.
#Wage theft disproportionately affects lower-wage workers, women, people of color, and immigrant workers, and negatively affects local #economies and #tax #revenues.
There are numerous forms of wage theft, from #employers not #compensating workers for time #worked, #violating minimum #wage and #overtime #laws, misclassifying #employees as independent #contractors, not providing #legally required meal breaks, confiscating worker tips, or illegally taking #deductions from worker wages."

#BIG_GOV | The 10 MOST #DANGEROUS #Cities in #FLORIDA
Overall Florida is #more_dangerous than many other #states but it’s not crazy.
Florida ranks 21st in the country for total #crime_per_capita. That accounts for the number of #robberies, #arsons, #rapes, attacks, #murders - all of it.
There’s a lot of places in Florida where you can chill out without much of a worry but in many parts of this state, you gotta #watch_your_back.
