Wage & Hour Division Collects Over $185 Million in 2008

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division announced that it recouped back wages totaling $185,287,827 in fiscal year 2008, for 228,645 workers, nationwide. The recovery actually represents a decrease from fiscal year 2007. But congratulations to the Department of Labor nonetheless. In 2008, they collected almost 11 times as much in unpaid wages as our law firm did.
