Labor officials noted that while investigations into wage theft are effective, getting the owed wages to workers often falters due to several systemic issues.
"We want workers to be paid. They are due that money, and we will work very, very, very hard to get them paid," said a labor department investigator.
As many as one-fifth of the funds recovered by the labor department may not reach the intended workers, creating significant gaps in justice.
Many undocumented immigrants fear filing ID verification documents for wage recovery due to the potential for deportation, which complicates relief efforts.
