The empirical research, although limited, reveals a more complex relationship between regulation and jobs, and fails to support the notion that regulation is either a major job killer or a significant job creator. U.S. policy makers should not expect that the nation’s economic woes can be solved by reforming the regulatory process.flash_audiohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/laborregulationcary coglianeseissue briefemploymentjobsBusinessPublic PolicyBrief
