According to the recently released National Retail Security Survey, U.S. retailers lost more than $13.2 billion from employee theft last year alone.





According to the study conducted by the University of Florida with a funding grant from Sensormatic Electronics Corporation, employee theft was up almost 2 percentage points from the previous study conducted in 1998. Employee theft now accounts for more than 44 percent of all retail losses in the United States. The tight labor market has created a combination of factors that lead to higher dollar losses across the industry. The record labor shortage leaves businesses short-staffed, producing more opportunity to steal. This is compounded by the more dishonest employees allowed into the workplace because of these same business staffing shortages.
