What next, Quebec?

Article Abstract:

The issue of separatism that has wielded a large gap between Quebec and Canada has long-term implications to both region's economy. Although separatists lost the vote on Oct. 30, 1995, a second referendum is expected to give Quebec its long-awaited independence. Despite healthy signs indicating that sovereign Quebec can economically stand alone, questions on its viability as a site for new plants and expansion keep arising because of its record-high deficit. Adding weight to the question about its future in global business expansion is its severance from NAFTA once it achieves its independence.

The ADA: are corporate facilities ready?

Article Abstract:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) had a considerable impact on the business sector as compliance became a top priority. A survey of corporations showed that compliance with ADA is underway in most parts of corporate America but some potential hazards had been detected. Aside from ADA's vagueness on what constitutes compliance, the costs of compliance are greater than had been projected and the issue is on whether the landlord or the tenant pays. Resolution of the issues may possibly have to be settled in court on a case-to-case basis.

The southwest: job generation writ large

Article Abstract:

The business appeal of southwestern states has substantially helped in the region's economic advancement by generating a plethora of job opportunities to local residents. In fact, the Milken Institute reported that Dallas and Albuquerque are two of the top ten high-technology growth areas in the country, occupying the number two and seven positions respectively. Such a growth may be attributed to the pro-business legislations adopted in these states, which have made the area a highly favorable place to work in.
