These protections-the right to be paid at least the minimum wage, the right to be paid for overtime hours, the right to take meal breaks, access to workers' compensation when injured and the right to advocate for better working conditions-are being violated at alarming rates in the city's low-wage labor market. The sheer breadth of the problem, spanning key industries in the economy, as well as its profound impact on workers and their communities, entailing significant economic hardship, demand urgent attention. In 2008, we conducted a landmark survey of 1,432 workers in low-wage industries in New York City. We used an innovative, rigorous methodology that allowed us to reach vulnerable workers who often are missed in standard surveys, such as unauthorized immigrants and those paid in cash. Our goal was to obtain accurate and statistically representative estimates of the prevalence of workplace violations. All findings are adjusted to be representative of front-line workers (excluding managers, professional or technical workers) in low-wage industries in New York City-a population that we estimate numbers more than a half-million (586,322) workers.
