As cold temps blow over the Northern Hemisphere, we can’t help but recall the hot news this past summer: employer wage theft. The New York Times reported on it, as did The Los Angeles Times , and Forbes. There are two perceptions at play. The first is that wage theft only happens to blue-collar workers.
