v10-text3_01.gifMiami attorney Jared Beck has an interesting post on wage-and-hour lawsuits at his blog, Magic City Harvard Lawyer.

Beck wonders what is behind the increase in these suits. The Southern District of Florida now leads the nation in these suits, according to a Daily Business Review article cited in the blog post. Beck writes:

The bottom line is that in an overheated economy, regulatory compliance typically takes a back seat for businesses keen on rapidly seizing perceived opportunities and muscling out would-be competitors looking to get in on the action. “Overheated” surely describes the Florida real estate market in the past few years, and perhaps it describes the Florida economy more generally as well, but looking back a decade or two.
