Carmine Iannaccone, a Member in the Firm in the Labor and Employment practice in the Newark, office, and Carrie Corcoran, an Associate in the Labor and Employment practice, in the New York office, cowrote an article titled "Obama vs. Romney: How the Elections Will Affect Employers."

So, given the likelihood of continued legislative gridlock, what will be the real difference for employers between Democratic President Obama achieving a second term versus Republican candidate Mitt Romney unseating him to become the 45th president of the United States of America? Below, we highlight four key areas that we can expect the next president to actually differentiate himself from his opponent.
