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 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 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 Japanese and American Employment Systems, 1991.

From the Paper
"The Japanese employment system has been described by some as the result of cultural norms encouraging high commitment, reciprocity, and conformity, but Andrew Gordon takes the opposing view that these practices are actually an economic response. He traces this system back to its roots in pre-war Japan, showing how the system developed from a different system in the era of World War I and the 1920s into something closer to the current system because of the interplay of economic forces.
The Japanese system offers many observable Japanese managerial practices which can be reduced to three underlying factors:
1) a long-run planning horizon;
2) a commitment to lifetime employment; and
3) a sense of collective responsibility."

From the Paper
"The debate over the role and power of individual states within the federalist system of government in the United States of America has raged since the dawn of our nation. Two main questions have fueled a raging debate over so called states rights, what is the nature of our Union and what are the powers and privileges that the Constitution grants to the national government and reserves for the states. Incredibly enough, we are still attempting to answer these questions today over two centuries since the adoption of the ... "

Abstract
This paper, using Pennsylvania as a model, demonstrates the differences between state budgeting policies and federal budgeting policies. It shows how the budgeting techniques in the federal government have some major differences, when compared to those in the Pennsylvania State government; these differences include a lack of a separate capital budget, different budget cycles and timelines, and budgetary policy differences.
From the Paper
"The federal government uses only one budget to lay out its financial obligations, whereas Pennsylvania uses two separate budgets. The single operating budget used by the federal government is required to outline federal expenditures from purchases to service contracts. Pennsylvania, however, has one budget that outlines services, entitlements and education expenses, and a different budget to make new purchases on capital improvements. The former is called the General Fund, and the latter is the Capital budget. Pennsylvania uses two budgets because the General Fund is used for purchases and contracts that will take place within that fiscal year, and the Capital budget is used to forecast capital purchases in the next five years. In this manner, Pennsylvania can keep better track of its assets and have a tighter grip on where its money is spent. The biggest advantage to having a separate budget for capital improvements is it allows the possibility of change. When funding is appropriated on the federal level, the department gets its money all at once and builds whatever it needs. For a state, though, a program may be feasible at the time of its announcement, but may have to be restricted due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. September 11th and the economic downfall.) "

Abstract
This paper briefly looks at the differences between the way these two systems work. It looks at the technical differences as well as the philosophical differences between these legal systems.
From the Paper
"The U.S. Supreme Court runs by Constitutional mandate, and therefore, handles cases that deal with potential violations of constitutional law (Supreme Court of the United States, 2003). The U.S. Supreme Court also develops rules of procedure (with congressional authorization) that need to be followed by the lower courts of the United States.
These higher courts also differ in how justices serve. On the U.S. Supreme Court, justices are appointed for life by the President of the United States, and can?t be removed unless they retire or are impeached for wrong-doing. In Texas, however, justices must run for election to Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals, which means that the justices are spending time campaigning as well as handling legal matters."

Abstract
This paper examines the nature of the Federal Reserve System, the push towards centralized banking in the United States, the panic of 1907, the evolution of the Federal Reserve during the 20th century, and the future of the institution.The paper highlights the significant role that the Federal Reserve System has played in the history of the United States since its creation. The paper explains that the Federal Reserve System was the final and most successful attempt by the United States government to create a centralized banking system for the nation that could help stabilize the economy and centrally coordinate financial policy-making. The paper then points out that, though significant criticism has been leveled at the Federal Reserve, throughout its history, there are few indications that the Federal Reserve will be abolished in the near future. In conclusion, the paper shows that for the foreseeable future, the Federal Reserve System will be an undeniable feature of American political and economic life.

The Panic of 1907 and the Birth of the Federal Reserve
From 1913 to the Present: The Evolution of the Fed
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 analyzes the main concerns of the founders when the wrote the Constitution of the United States, explaining that the delegates wanted limits on the federal government's power over the states and the citizens of the nation. Because of their experience with the British crown and the absence of freedom that existed in England for the common man at the time, the framers wanted to ensure that at no time could the federal government reduce state or individual freedoms. The paper explains that this is why the Bill of Rights was included as the first set of amendments to the Constitution, as it directly ensured that certain freedoms were protected. These amendments also stipulated that the federal government had enumerated power, rather than absolute power; an action "intended to keep the central government weak and to the keep the political power close to the people".

Abstract
This paper characterizes the state of the economy and examines whether the Federal Reserve is more concerned about high inflation, the possibility of a recession, or other economic other issues. The author identifies the stated direction of recent Federal Reserve monetary policy and discusses what policy actions the Federal Reserve has taken to confirm that direction. He concludes that if the economy hasn't rebounded by the end of the third quarter of 2003, another rate cut could be on the way, as well as further steps, for rate cuts have not always been very effective. But if consumer spending holds up and job gains continue, rates will likely not be reduced.

Conclusion
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."
