The plurality of employees with garnished wages, 41.5 percent, were subject to garnishment for child support. Another 18.3 percent were subject to garnishment for taxes, while another 4.9 percent were being garnished according to bankruptcy orders. However, the remaining 35.4 percent of employees had their wages garnished for all other reasons – typically, to pay off consumer debts or medical bills.
