USA

Federal law, agencies, and national unions interact with state labor codes, unemployment insurance, and sectoral conditions—so "the United States" is never a single uniform regime.

Note

Prefer citations to statute, agency guidance, and primary statements. Add subsections (e.g. federal programs, major bills, regulatory dockets) as sources are added.
