"Introduction
The election of President Bill Clinton in 1992 marked the beginning of a period of fundamental shifts in national labor policy. Although more or less supported by labor, Clinton has managed to alienate many in the labor movement by his efforts to transform historic policies of the nationalization of manpower in the United States. This essay addresses the key issues of unemployment and manpower policy in the United States, including tax policies designed to manipulate employment in both the private and public sectors, the competition for jobs posed by foreign workers, and the evolution of national manpower policy from the New Deal through the Clinton Administration.
The Clinton Administration has already reformed the nation's welfare system. The Employment Security (ES) system, a technical term for the national..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the issue of equal employment for all, irrelevant of race, colour, gender or sexual preference. It focuses on the policy of Southwest Airlines and sees how this company has managed to maintain a very good record in this regard.
From the Paper
"No company is perfect. And no company is entirely without bias on the part of all of its supervisors towards the members of every culturally or socially distinct group of workers. But certainly some companies try harder than others to promote ideals of diversity in the workforce (so that that workforce reflects the diversity and talents of American society at large). An important part of an emphasis on a diverse workforce is an insistence that workers be free of harassment at the workplace because of their sex, sexual orientation or race.
"Southwest Airlines has a relatively good record on gender issues, as shall be discussed in this paper. Company officials seem, in the past decade, to have taken the entire idea of the importance of diversity in the workplace very much to heart."

Abstract
This paper provides a job placement agency with a road map for building good business relationships with companies that would be most promising as potential employers for the job seekers listed with the agency. The paper examines companies in three U.S. market sectors: finance, the food industry, and hi-tech. The candidates for employment, the business climate, and the companies that offer potential employment are each reviewed and analyzed by this paper.
The Candidates
The Business Climate: Industrial and Occupational Outlook
Fortune 100 Companies to Target
From the Paper
"Many of the candidates served by this agency are a lot like a woman profiled by the Wall Street Journal last year. Morgan Hezlep, 31 at the time, graduated from St. Leo University, a small school with both a campus in Florida, and a well-regarded online degree program. While flying 200,000 miles in two years as a computer consultant, Hezlep earned a degree in computer information systems. Instead pf watching the in-flight movies, she ?attended? class by downloading lectures by St. Leo?s faculty and completing homework assignments. While Hezlep wanted the degree so she could attend law school, in the usual fashion, many of our candidates earned their degree in similar non-traditional ways, but want traditional, but better, jobs. St. Leo?s is not a ?correspondence? school, but a real university with a real football team, as the Wall Street Journal article points out. (Grimes, Feb. 20, 2003) That accords with the backgrounds of many of our candidates. While they may have gotten degrees at non-traditional life stages, perhaps after working for a few years and going to school at night, or in an accelerated 2-plus-year business administration course, very few earned their degrees in a completely correspondence-based college. This is useful information to have in presenting these candidates to the employers; some prefer candidates whose degrees are from ?bricks and mortar? colleges, rather than online ones."

Abstract
The paper examines a public policy requiring employers to provide health care benefits to their employees. The paper includes one graph.
From the Paper
"Health care in the United States has gained national attention in recent years as news stories detail senior citizens traveling to Canada to purchase prescription drugs at more reasonable prices and the unavailability of a flu vaccine for most Americans that caused long lines for the doses that were available. Health care is a critical concern for most workers as well as their employers, since a key reason-other than vacations-that employees miss work is because of illness."

Abstract
This paper examines Annis May Timpson's "Driven Apart: Women's Employment Equality and Child Care in Canadian Public Policy". The paper discusses how Timpson explores how the demands of the Canadian women's movement for greater employment equality in the last decades of the 20th century manifested themselves in public policy initiatives. The paper provides a review of Timpson's work from the point of view of the writer.
From the Paper
"This passage is important as it reveals how the development and implementation of public policy is shaped by political realities more so than ideological ones in the Canadian context. It is also interesting to note how MacDonald cites the need to gain the support of "women's groups" and not "women" in general in her observation. Clearly, she - and presumably her government - recognized the role of social organizations such as women's groups (what would today be termed "civil society" organizations) as participants in the shaping of public policy and, in a purely political way, in the aggregation of political support for a particular government."

Lifetime Employment in Japan, 2002.
Offers an opposing view to an article that claims that Japanese firms invest in human capital because the external labor market is restricted.
2,258 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 1 source, $ 69.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In a 'Columbia Law Review' article published in 1999 -- "Lifetime Employment: Labor Peace and the Evolution of Japanese Corporate Governance" -- authors Gilson and Roe maintain that the Japanese practice of constricting the external labor market is responsible for firms' willingness to invest in human capital. They specifically reject the proposition that Japan's institution of lifetime employment could be the impetus for such corporate outlay. This paper contends, however, that social norms, coupled with a divergent development of Japan's employment law, gave rise to its lifetime employment policy and that this resulting policy accounts for employers' willingness to invest in human capital. The paper argues that a closed market is the result -- not the cause -- of corporate investment in employees.
From the Paper
"It is recognized that Japanese labor law theory is firmly established in that of the Weimar Republic, which gave preference to group interests over that of the individual. The theory began to evolve during Japan's first industrialization at the end of the 19th century, when a severe shortage of skilled labor fostered worker migration from company to company. The situation was exacerbated when, in the 1920s, Japan underwent a series of hostile, chaotic strikes, which further caused significant labor turnover in key industries."

U.S .Containment Policy, 2007.
A discussion on whether the United States policy of containment was successful in its aims.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes the U.S. policy of containment and follows it from its inception just after the Second World War to the end of the Cold War with the fall of the Soviet Union. It looks at the different policies that in themselves helped to make up the policy of containment, such as the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. Also, all of the major conflicts in which this policy was employed are examined along with the ramifications of its employment. The paper spans seven presidencies and examines how the policy changed and adapted to the changing domestic attitudes of the time and the outlook of the president at the time.
From the Paper
"With a change in the administration came a change in how the Cold War was fought and how the policy of containment was adapted to the contemporary political environment. The Kennedy/Johnson years of 1961-69 were characterised by a 'flexible response strategy' and Kennedy's 'New Frontier' strategy focused on two things, MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) and the battle for hearts and minds and the capabilities of the Third World. The highpoint of the Kennedy administration and of containment under his administration was the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, where the fate of the world was balanced on a knife edge during the heated confrontations and negotiations between Kennedy and Soviet premier Khrushchev.

»

Abstract
This paper explores a comprehensive working capital policy and presents issues related to cash management techniques and long and short term financing. The paper also looks at elements of the ethical implications of the methodologies being devised. In addition, the paper examines the relative advantages and disadvantages of the methodologies employed within each categorization, as it relates to the working capital policy employed. The paper explains that working capital policy has become important as financial managers try to accurately monitor risk and exposure, and use policies for improved decision-making. The paper then points out that these policy actions and implications have gained much needed use, as organizations, try to utilize financing options and increase the overall efficiency of organizations.
Outline:
Introduction
Working Capital Policy
Ethical Issues
Conclusion
From the Paper
" Financing within a firm or organization is one of the most expansive areas, and has some of the more pronounced and augmented processes embedded within the overall strategic development of financial management. However, there are some aspects that are frequently used and require special attention - cash management techniques, methods of short-term financing, and working capital policy. These areas become even more important, because they are utilized by most, if not all firms, irrespective of size and or general business objective."

Social Policy in Australia, 2007.
This paper analyzes the efficiency of the current delivery of social policy in Australia.
3,249 words (approx. 13.0 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 93.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper offers a brief discussion of the definition of social policy and then traces the history of the development of welfare policy in Australia. To analyse how efficiently the current delivery of social policy achieves its goal, the paper focuses on the two key welfare policy areas of education and employment. The paper argues that in these key policy areas, the delivery of social policy does not completely fulfil its social goals and aims. The paper contends that social policy is shaped by changing needs and values, thus the delivery of welfare must reflect these changes to ensure efficient and effective social policy.
From the Paper
"In its common form as it is most often applied, 'social policy' has connotations of equality through the provision of welfare and the redistribution of resources (Graycar & Jamrozik 1993, p. 54). This definition is further extended by McClelland (2006a, p. 7), who adds that social policy involves debates about values, and assumptions of the behaviour of members of a society. The scope of social policy is broad, in that there are a wide-range of factors which influence it. This can include factors such as economic, political, and historical contexts (Jones 1996, p. 30; McClelland 2006a, p. 18). Economic policy, for example, often determines the resource allocation aspects of social welfare policy (Smyth 1994, p. 39). Given this broad scope of social policy, social welfare should be viewed not in isolation, but as part of the broader contexts of a society. This is an important point to consider, as this often affects the aims of a social policy goal, and also the effectiveness of social policy as an instrument."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the federal and Maryland state systems of government differ in their application of employment laws. For the most part, the State of Maryland utilizes most of the same employment laws as those mandated by the federal government. It shows that the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation's Division of Labor and Industry is the governing body for wage and employment law in the state.
From the Paper
"The minimum wage (with some exceptions) is $5.15 per hour in Maryland, just as it is at the federal level. The workweek is 40 hours, and any time worked over 40 hours must be paid as time-and-a-half. The exceptions to this are certain retail mechanics, partspersons, or salespersons who sell or service cars, farm equipment, trailers or trucks, taxicab drivers, executive, administrative and professional employees who meet certain criteria, outside salesmen, commissioned employees, a child, parent, spouse, or other member of the employer's immediate family, and employees of a movie theater ("Maryland Guide," 2004). In addition, agricultural workers in the state must be paid overtime after working 60 hours in a week, and some health care institutions (not hospitals) and bowling alleys pay overtime after 48 hours worked in one week."

Employment Equality, 2005.
A debate over affirmative action programs versus equal employment opportunity programs to promote employment equality.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 10 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses employment equality, which has a topic of debate for generations. Over the course of the last four decades, the civil rights movement, in America, has brought two types of programs into place to help bring about this equality. Affirmative action and equal employment opportunity programs have the same end goal, employment equality, yet use very different means to get there. Following is a discussion regarding both types of programs, their advantages and disadvantages, and their effectiveness and usage.
From the Paper
"Affirmative Action Programs Versus Equal Employment Opportunity Programs Introduction: Origins, General Description, Theories, Concepts, and Practices of Affirmative Action Programs: Affirmative action programs were established to provide positive employment opportunities for people of a minority group, who are traditionally thought of as being discriminated against. In fact, in Great Britain, these types of programs are known as 'positive discrimination' noting the favoritism of certain groups who have, in the past, been discriminated against."

State and Federal Employment Systems, 2006.
A comparison between federal employment laws and New Hampshire state laws of employment.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of employment law. Specifically the paper discusses how the federal and New Hampshire state systems of government may or may not differ in their application of employment laws. Federal employment laws set the standard for most state laws.
From the Paper
"New Hampshire also has a statute regarding "displaced homemakers" that covers older women who may have been absent from the workforce for many years, and are suddenly displaced due to death, divorce, or other occurrences. The state offers assistance to these women, training for new jobs, and employment assistance. This is also a statute that is not represented in the federal employment laws. It is clear this must be a problem in New Hampshire because lawmakers felt it needed to be addressed. This statue originally took effect in 1979, so it seems New Hampshire is more forward thinking than many other states who do not yet address this issue."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Every individual has the nature to pursue his/her interests. But when it comes to working together, these interests may often collide with each other's. Therefore, there has to be a balancing act which should ensure the protection of interests of everyone. With a multitude of laws, regulations, statutes and other considerations in the area of employment law, the federal government, through Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (1964), has created a basic framework for employers to ensure that employees are treated fairly on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age, thus reducing their liabilities. One of the outcomes of our forefather's leap into the American experiment is the ability of individual states to enact laws pertaining to their unique situations."
