"In dollar terms, what group of Americans steals the most from their fellow
citizens each year?

The answer might surprise you: It's employers, many of whom are committing
what's known as wage theft. It's not just about underpaying workers.
They're not paying workers what they're legally owed for the labor they put
in...

...No one knows exactly how big a problem wage theft is, but in 2012
federal and state agencies recovered $933 million for victims of wage
theft. By comparison, all the property taken in all the robberies of all
types in 2012, solved or unsolved, amounted to a little under $341
million.."
