  “This book will give you an entirely new perspective on work in America.” —Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed   In what has been described as “the crime wave no one talks about,” billions of dollars’ worth of wages are stolen from millions of workers in the United States every year—a grand theft that exceeds every other larceny category. Even the Economic Policy Foundation, a business-funded think tank, has estimated that companies annually steal an incredible $19 billion in unpaid overtime. The scope of these abuses is staggering, but activists, unions, and policymakers—along with everyday Americans in congregations and towns across the country—have begun to take notice.   While the first edition of Wage Theft In America documented the scope of the problem, this new edition adds the latest research on wage theft and tells what community, religious, and labor activists are now doing to address the crisis—from passing state and local wage-theft bills to establishing mayoral task forces and tapping agencies that help low-wage workers in spotting wage theft.   Citing hard-hitting statistics and heartbreaking first-person accounts of exploitation at the hands of employers, this updated edition of Wage Theft In America offers concrete solutions and a roadmap for putting an end to this insidious practice.

  Applied Economics is a recent development in the subject of economics. By Applied Economics, the application part of any economic policy is to be considered without which an economic theory in itself would be rendered useless. Economic Theories are propounded every other day, but without a practical use to itself, the same may not be fruitful. Presently, all major countries are reluctant to develop their own economy and make the same powerful owing to the reason that only a strong economy is an identification of the fact that whether the country is growing or not. Competition has increased within the country and outside and these factors have further compelled governments to adopt one or the other way. Though applied economics is not a policy, it is a newly derived subject within economics which walks with it hand in hand and without the attributes of the subject, deriving many factors would not be possible.
