A quick definition of Labor and Employment laws:

Labor and Employment laws are rules that govern how people work in the United States. Each state has its own set of laws that cover things like how much money people should be paid, how many hours they can work, and what conditions they should work in. These laws are important because they help protect workers and make sure that everyone is treated fairly. If you want to know more about the labor and employment laws in your state, you can check out the links on this page.

A more thorough explanation:

Labor and Employment Laws refer to the laws and regulations that govern the relationship between employers and employees in the United States. These laws cover various aspects of employment, including compensation, hours of work, workplace safety, discrimination, and more.

Each state has its own set of labor and employment laws, which are enforced by state agencies. For example, in California, the Labor Code governs employment practices, and the California Department of Industrial Relations enforces these laws.

Here are some examples of state labor and employment laws:

In New York, the Labor Law requires employers to pay employees at least the minimum wage and overtime pay for working more than 40 hours per week.
In Texas, the Labor Code prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability.
In Florida, the Unemployment Compensation Law provides temporary financial assistance to workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own.

These examples illustrate how labor and employment laws vary from state to state and cover a wide range of employment-related issues.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo

SpecialCrowdedElemental

15:04

(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)

c0bra1

15:07

transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol

c0bra1

15:08

i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to

i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done

I saw someone got a full-ride in exchange for deferring. I didn't even know that was a thing? Has it happened to anyone else?

AngryMiniCar

@GatorNation: I don't know that school all that well. But it's ranked really low and usually rankings don't matter much if you're just trying to practice. But I'd be careful and look on reddit. Cause some of these schools can be highkey predatory.

Like some schools have a conditional scholarship that they take away from you at the drop of a hat and no faculty support in 1L so a lot of people get fucked. I know someone who got screwed by Western New England. Not saying that it is just that I wouldn't think of making it my go-to without digging into it.

GatorNation

Ok thank you!

NemoPropheta

check the 509 report, should show bar passage rate, employment data, and percent of students that retained their scholarship after 1L
