This report describes opportunities and limitations of the Wage and Hour Division’s internal case management system, the Wage and Hour Investigative Support and Reporting Database (WHISARD), and a selection of external data sources for evaluation. The study team explored how external data can be integrated with WHISARD data, and the limitations of doing so.
