There is statistical evidence that licensing acts as a barrier to entry into a profession, and also as a barrier to labor mobility (since states have different requirements, licenses are considerably less portable than one might imagine).
Welcome to Indianapolis, home of Super Bowl XLVI, the greatest spectacle in football and the biggest party this city has ever seen.
As Indianapolis welcomes the world for Super Bowl XLVI, I find myself thinking back to Feb. 4, 2007, when the Colts beat the Chicago Bears to win Super Bowl XLI.
Let the record show I renewed my Indianapolis Colts season tickets before Jim Caldwell was fired as head coach. But I do feel a sense of affirmation.
Just before Christmas, I received a nasty-gram in the mail from a firm called ORS.
Fourth in a month-long series of looks at newer downtown eateries. This Week: Chef Joseph’s at the Connoisseur Room.
Indiana Repertory Theatre's "Radio Golf," the Phoenix's “Current Economic Conditions,” and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra rely on character-driven shows.
Even before the first full month of the year has passed, every conceivable metaphor for the importance of the right-to-work issue in the 2012 legislative session has been (ab)used.
John Krull is not an old fogey. His viewpoints [Dec. 26 Forefront] are what America was made of before all the too-open-minded people, the too-liberal thinkers and the too-greedy people came to the forefront.
Talking heads and politicians are notoriously bad at math. Morton Marcus [Jan. 9 Forefront] acts as if paying higher wages equates to something like 30 cents per diner. I think this is disingenuous.
As an attorney who has practiced labor and employment law for 37 years, I’m concerned by the widespread confusion about the so-called “right-to-work“ bill being promoted by Gov. Daniels.
In Indianapolis, 65 of us are “outstanding,” meaning measurably better than all the rest. Hard to imagine.
We honor King’s legacy by recognizing that challenges remain, and by continuing to work for an America where people are judged “by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.”
The governor did not need to take on right-to-work to leave a legacy of success.
A flawed but ultimately acceptable ordinance that would strengthen Indianapolis’ workplace smoking ban is now headed to the City-County Council. The council should pass the ordinance and Mayor Ballard should sign it.
Don’t let conventional decision-making reduce your chances of winning the investment “game.”
A frequently heard criticism of economic analysis is that it focuses only on those things that can be easily measured. This is an astonishing and vacuous censure championed largely by the innumerate among us.
In 2012, the question of union versus merit pay is more relevant in light of the right-to-work debate.
I want to give state employees more incentives for creativity.
Feats of Strength are optional, but an Airing of Grievances is mandatory.
