Now that the 2016 national elections are in the books, there is considerable interest among employers as to what the outcome will mean for the development of employment policy in the coming months and years. Indeed, this is especially true with respect to the incoming Trump Administration, given the lack of specifics we have heard on policy proposals.
At the same time, however, we do know that some things almost certainly will change, and we can make some educated guesses as to which issues are likely to get the most attention, at least in the short term.
To help provide some idea of what to expect, NT Lakis attorneys and non-attorney professionals have prepared a guide that presents an overview of the transition process, examines the tools that are available to the incoming administration and Congress in setting early policy goals, and gazes into the crystal ball to provide some projections about how the new administration will proceed.
It should go without saying that at this point these kinds of projections are more practiced art than science, and that the only thing we can say with certainty is to expect the unexpected, as there are always surprises that arise that no one really anticipated.
