After 18 months of campaigning, the expenditure of $6 billion in campaign funds, 468 congressional elections and one presidential election, the political landscape remains remarkably unchanged. The House of Representatives continues to have a Republican majority, the Senate continues to have a Democratic majority, and Barack Obama remains president.
As the previous four years have shown, this political landscape created substantial gridlock that stymied Obama’s efforts to implement many of the initiatives that he had hoped to pass into law when he was first elected in 2008. While certain employers may expect much of the same until the political landscape changes, this will not necessarily be the case.
