Labor trafficking exists in many areas of life and occurs when people are not paid a just wage for their work or when their working conditions are abusive or unsafe. People who work in nail salons, massage parlors, domestic servitude positions and the agricultural industry are particularly vulnerable to labor trafficking. Children are also at risk for labor trafficking, both here and around the world. Some labor trafficking even leads to sex trafficking, especially for young girls and boys.
