U.S. workers are cheated out of $50 billion every year in a crisis of wage theft, which impacts workers who can least afford it the most. The author explains the causes, including the failure of state and federal agencies to enforce minimum wage and overtime laws. Ms. Baumler calls for greater awareness of the epidemic of wage theft and the political will by the government to change the situation.
