Migrant crisis spurred nearly 3 million overtime hours for two NYC agencies- costing taxpayers $139M

New York City’s biggest overtime hogs for a second straight year are mostly rank-and-file workers responsible for tackling the Big Apple’s $6 billion-plus migrant crisis, The Post has learned.

Each worker accumulated at least 1,851 hours in extra pay.
