Divided by 170 million workers that's ~90 bucks per person. That's less than I expected. Of course not all wage theft is created equal ao some people are going to be losing multiple times that.

    $294.11 if you use the $50,000,000,000 that the article states in the infographic.

    Oh you're right. I wonder why the title doesn't say that. That said assuming half the work force doesn't go through wage theft we're looking at ~600 dollars per person. Wow that's a lot. Also why did you just write all those zeroes?
