despite the investment that san francisco has made in the office of labor of standard enforcement, having a local enforcement agency that look to around the country as a model for how to do local enforcement, the task force still believes the investment of resources is not enough to combat the problem. the second big challenge was the lack of data sharing between agencies. there's no single coordinated system by which a business interacts with the city. so, the department of public health trackses a business in a way that does not necessarily coincide with how law office of labor standards tracks a business ~. so, a city department could be interacting with a business that has violations in other city departments without the two departments knowing about the commonality of the business. the third main challenge, independent of of out orlc does enforcement and investigation process, many workers seek to recover their wages through other avenues. we considered data from the department of labor standards enforcement that state labor commissioner as well, and the data from the state agency [speaker n
