> There are also plenty of regulations that are limiting career mobility, both in medicine and in other fields. An example of this is that anything that makes it hard for employers to fire people also makes it more costly for them to hire different people (because that new person is an unknown, and therefore risky, as the employer has to hold onto them longer, even if they aren't willing/able to produce.)
In all 50 states, you can fire people easily unless:
1) You are blatantly discriminatory AND the people who are discriminating against can deploy legal muscle to their benefit.
2) The employer voluntarily entered into a contract with employee(s) that restrict the employer's rights.
There are no "regulations" involved beyond #1 in firing people. Its why almost everyone is fired for the generic "performance" reason. Its pretty much immune to criticism unless you are blatantly discriminating.

- fweespeech 10y agoIn statute, yes. However, in reality, all of it can be covered by a boilerplate employee contract that makes you effectively at-will and provides negligible protection.
- otterley 10y agoProvisions in contracts that require one of the parties to waive statutory protections are usually deemed void in courts as contrary to public policy.
