Methodology

The data was gathered using web scraping techniques and manual collection from public sites like the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). I have compiled summaries of key employment laws and court judgments, which were integral to the project's purpose of providing legal professionals with the required data.
