Some Colorado employers are stealing the wages of their workers and new research shows it's hurting all of us.
Filed Under:– Some Colorado employers are stealing the wages of their workers and new research shows it’s hurting all of us. The Colorado Fiscal Institute says last year workers here lost nearly $730 million to wage theft. Meanwhile, the state lost about $45 million in tax revenue for roads, schools and other public services.
Jhoana Garcia is one of them. She says a contractor strung her along for a month with promises she’d get paid while the single mom struggled to feed her kids. In desperation, she filed a complaint with the Department of Labor and won. That was four years ago. She says she still hasn’t been paid. And she’s not alone.
