All of the sources and math in there seem extremely cherry picked to make the point that they want.
They provide theft data from the FBI, that is then contradicted directly by a non-scientific survey performed by a lobbying group of their members, for political purposes. It also fails to differentiate between shoplifting and outright robbery (the difference in my mind being the use of deception vs the use of violence).
They then choose the latter as a representation of fact with no caveats.
I have no idea whether wage theft is more or less than shoplifting. Anecdotally, I am among numerous people who have had 5 figure sums stolen through wage theft, yet none of these people have shoplifted anywhere near that amount.
