Average DOL Wage Recoveries
June 18, 2008
According to at least one reported case, statistical data set forth on the United States Department of Labor Web site (we'll post the link if we can find it) indicates that the wage and hour division of the labor department collected $212,537,544 in back wages for 342,358 employees for fiscal year 2003, for an average award of $620.80 per employee.
Pretty sad. All those dollars wasted on expensive government lawyers, bureaucrats and other wasters of taxpayers' oxygen for only six hundred bucks per employee. Sheesh! They should close the whole darn thing.

So so sad. We should have let the cheating employers keep that money!
