The Impact of State Employment Policies on Job Growth: A 50 State Review

by | Mar 24, 2011 | Labor Relations Ink

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has issued a report on job growth as it relates to state employment policies. You can also follow their webcast on the report. The study measures the burden of state regulations that exceed or overlap Federal regulations and the effect of a second layer of bureaucracy on job creation. More laws are not only more costly for employers to navigate they also provide more opportunities for costly litigation.  The study weighs the costs, state by state, for minimum wage and “living wage” laws in excess of the Federal minimum, the cost of employment separation and workman’s comp, wage and hour policies and collective bargaining issues including Right to Work.
