High-level analysis of CAST data, conducted using over 10 years of legal intakes in labor trafficking cases, illuminates some common narratives of exploitation CAST clients have endured. Distinctions emerge within a variety of industries, types of trafficking, and forms of recruitment. The goal in generating and sharing this data analysis lies in centering more attention on labor trafficking, sparking more discussion on prevention and response to labor trafficking, and equipping key stakeholders with industry-specific evidence for a better understanding of labor trafficking enterprises.
