Modernizing Labor Enforcement to Address Gender Gaps and Wage Theft

Develop worker-centered AI tools that transform labor agencies into strategic enforcers by proactively identifying wage theft, accelerating investigations, and ensuring women receive wages owed.

Women are 44% more likely to be paid below the minimum wage, a $12.7 billion loss in women's annual income. Labor enforcement agencies should prevent and correct these losses, but face overwhelming caseloads and outdated technology. We are partnering with state labor agencies and workers to identify ways AI can help workers access their right to fair wages and benefits and develop new tools to improve and modernize labor enforcement in key industries.
