The following are two examples of "regulations" cost to consumers...
[A]The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) calculates that the federal government currently imposes more than 10.3 billion hours of paperwork compliance annually.
What Does an Hour of Regulatory Compliance Cost? | American Action Forum
This is not a guess... it comes from the Government!
So at the current rate of the average hourly $23.87 that gets paid, US Average Hourly Earnings
this means paperwork compliance costs: 10.3 billion hours times $23.87/hour = $245.861 billion a year.
$245 billion a year just in paperwork for FEDERAL compliance!
This doesn't account for State/Local paperwork compliance costs.
And so if any business wants to hire more people here is just ONE example of how Obama's administration thwarts job creation...
PER OSHA "water closet" means a toilet facility maintained within a toilet room for the purpose of both defecation and urination and which is flushed with water.
Minimum number of Number of employees water closets
1 to 15.................................................... 1
16 to 35................................................... 2
36 to 55................................................... 3
56 to 80................................................... 4
Sanitation. - 1910.141
OSHA requires if a business has 1 water closet for 15 workers and the business decides to hire 1 more person...
per OSHA law the business must provide 2 water closets! This means capital expenditures to build more water closets.
This is just ONE very simple very easy example of how the Federal Govt. works to keep people unemployed!
If any of you have more examples of government RULES and REgulations thwarting employers from hiring please share!
