"Retail crime resulted in losses of $9.2 billion in Canada in 2024."

I wonder how that compares to wage theft for the same period.

In 2017 Ontario found ~60M in wage theft.

With this we can deduce that it's about 2 billion in wage theft in canada in 2017.

So not quite total offset but significant enough that this is gonna have to fall under the cost of doing business.

Found wage theft. That is, of the number of incidents reported, which ones were ruled to be theft. But there's the undocumented part of wage theft.
