There's some glee over at Personnel Concepts, even among those who may have voted otherwise, at the thought of the changes being sought and made by the Obama administration on the labor law front.
Change is like the ka-ching of a cash register to firms that help businesses comply with workplace regulations and laws, and not just labor law poster and information firms like Personnel Concepts.
Labor and employment lawyers' eyes also grow wide these days as they ponder the opportunities under the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Human resources firms are busy scheduling seminars and offering training courses on CDs and in books for the changes to Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans With Disabilities Amendments Act (ADAAA).
There's more change to come, so look for companies that deal with labor law and workplace regulations to develop new products and programs, and new products and programs mean additional opportunities for sales. Ka-ching.
Recessions never do hit everyone equally, do they?

The Never-Ending Regulation Mill
Anyone out there ever try keeping up with all the workplace regulations foisted on us business owners by the federal and state (and sometimes local) governments?
Try reading through the latest iteration of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) that came out Nov. 17, 2008.
You need a guidebook to wade your way through it, so why bother? Don't we have better things to do, like surviving in a challenging economy?
Fortunately, we don't have to spend hours and days pouring through these gov regs, as I call them.. There are a bunch of Web sites, blogs and newsletters that can help yus cope with complying with workplace regulations.
I have several such sites bookmarked on my browser, but I also rely on Personnel Concepts to keep me informed, which they do quarterly, and daily on their site. They do the research and then keep me up to date.
There are other providers out there that I've checked into, but Personnel Concepts seems to have been around longer and honed their skills better.
More on keeping up in future posts.
