Bernhardt will write a series of articles based on findings from the RSF-funded "Unregulated Work Survey" on the violation of minimum wage, overtime, and other laws by employers. She will analyze the prevalence of workplace violations in several overlooked areas of the low-wage labor market, including unregulated, nonstandard, and informal jobs. Bernhardt will examine the causes of variation in workplace violations across industries and the underreporting of undocumented low-wage workers in government surveys.
