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."

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."

Abstract
"This paper reviews the differences and similarities between federal and state employment law on several issues, such as workers' compensation and drug testing. The author points out how the different systems developed. The paper notes how each law may apply to different sets of employees and how different issues may be involved.
From the Paper
"Workers are protected by different aspects of employment law covering everything from proper hiring procedures to employee protection and provision for retirement. Employment law involves both federal and state statutes, and the two may offer differing degrees of protection in some cases. Generally, federal law stands above state law, but states can usually provide more protections than does the federal system so long as state law does not undercut or alter the meaning of federal law. The distinctions can be seen in laws to protect employees, such as those covering workers compensation for on-the-job injuries, and for some requirements placed on employees, such as those for drug testing. Workers' compensation is a form of government-mandated insurance program for those employed in a given state, and there are workers' compensation programs in every state as well as at the federal level."

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."

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."

From the Paper
"The ?Fed? supported the Treasury?s fiscal policy goals from its founding to the years following World War II primarily. In the 1970s, the inflation rate went ballistic as producer and consumer prices rose, oil prices soared and the Federal deficit more than doubled (U.S. Banking). The Monetary Control Act of 1980, required the Fed to price its financial services competitively against private sector providers and to establish reserve requirements for all eligible financial institutions (U.S. Banking). The Act marked the beginning of yet another period of banking reforms. Following its passage, interstate banking grew, and banks began offering interest-paying accounts and instruments to attract customers from brokerage firms. Momentum for change increased, and by 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was passed."

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons why the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee at its October 2000 meeting decided to leave the Federal Funds Rate target (and by extension the money supply target) unchanged as well as looking at what might have prompted the Fed Open Market Committee to increase the Federal Funds Rate or Discount Rate as well as what might have prompted them to decrease the Federal Funds Rate or Discount Rate ? and what other actions might have accompanied either an increase or decrease.
From the paper:
"To understand the Fed?s decision in October it is necessary to understand how the office functions in general. As the central banking authority of the United States, the Federal Reserve acts as a fiscal agent for the U.S. government; it also serves as custodian of the reserve accounts of commercial banks, makes loans to commercial banks, and is authorized to issue Federal Reserve notes that constitute the entire supply of paper currency of the country. The system comprises the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the 12 Federal Reserve banks, the Federal Open Market Committee, the Federal Advisory Council, and, a Consumer Advisory Council along with several thousand member banks. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System determines the reserve requirements of the member banks within statutory limits, reviews and determines the discount rates established by the 12 Federal Reserve banks, and reviews the budgets of the reserve banks."

Abstract
The paper explains that, in 1913, the Federal Reserve System, an integral part of the United States economy, was created by the Federal Reserve Act to deter the periods of financial panics, which were occurring in the United States. The author points out that managing the nation's monetary policy is the most important responsibility of the Board of Governors. The Board has three tools to conduct monetary policy: open market operations, reserve requirements, and the discount rate. The paper relates that the increase in the federal funds rate is the Federal Reserve's way of controlling inflation because, by raising the cost of borrowing money when there is too much money in circulation, the Federal Reserve's intention is to slow the economy down.

Criticism and the Future of the Fed
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Federal Reserve System was first established in the wake of the Panic of 1907. Earlier attempts to create such a system of federal banks had failed, but the Panic provided the impetus by apparently highlighting the need for a system like the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Act (1913) called for a system of eight to twelve mostly autonomous regional reserve banks. These banks would be owned by commercial banking interests, but coordinated by a committee appointed by the President of the United States (Flaherty sec. 13). In this way, the Federal Reserve System was originally devised as a private banking system that could operate largely in the public interest."

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."
