The article links to a reddit post, which has been deleted - so not sure of the source data.

Here's a recent article with the same points and similar figures, and several source links.

The Guardian

Thanks to both of you. Damn.

Workers in the US have an estimated $50bn-plus stolen from them every year, according to the Economic Policy Institute, surpassing all robberies, burglaries and motor vehicle thefts combined. The majority of these stolen wages are never recovered by workers.

Not surprised, honestly, but I'd never heard that comparison before.
