$5.4 billion dollars worth of business (money) stolen each year, how much goes missing in your workplace?

To calculate how much money goes missing in your workplace, you need to know total yearly sales and mark up of your store/retailer. I'm willing to bet 5% of sales minimum goes missing in every retail store across the board. <br><br>For example, I work in retail that does 15 million a year and our markup is 40% (so we make 6 million a year). If 5% of sales goes missing, that's $750,000 missing every year in my store alone.<br><br>Edit: I work in a supermarket. I do believe that some businesses have much higher loss than 5%. I've worked in retail for 10 years and 5% is a conservative estimate in my opinion.
