Why is New York City open for employment law citations?
New York City employment law benefits from some of the strongest employee protections in the country. The NYC Human Rights Law goes beyond federal and state law. Wall Street and finance generate constant bonus disputes, non-compete questions and discrimination claims. Media and entertainment create unique employment issues. Chinatown's workers search in Chinese. Brighton Beach searches in Russian. A NYC firm with finance industry content and native-language pages competes with almost no one for the queries that matter.
