The Government Accountability Office (the investigative arm of Congress) just completed a study of the Department of Labor (DOL). And let’s just say the DOL did not pass with flying colors. In fact, according to the GAO, things are pretty dismal when it comes to wage and hour enforcement.

Just when you thought the wage and hour war couldn’t get any worse, it actually does.
