Cost of wage theft by employers is 3 times the total cost of burglaries. There's a few articles about wage theft over the year and probably 100 a day about burglaries. White collar crime does not pay.

That is the most amazing statistic!

What exactly is the definition of wage theft? Do you have a source? I would love to have it

Not sure about this source, but [0] gives some insight into this. Wage theft is typically defined as legally earned wages than an employer refuses to give to the employee (think tips not being given appropriately, overtime hours not compensated for as an hourly employee, etc.)
