Well, it’s officially a trend: Employers are increasingly using personality tests for hiring decisions.
At least according to a recent The New York Times article which describes this as a burgeoning $2 billion industry.
While not new, personality tests are finding new traction as employers hire for remote work positions that have a different skill
In my last post, I detailed all the changes that were occurring due to the new Clean Slate law that goes into effect January 1, 2023. You might have missed hearing about the law because it passed in 2021 and the deadline seemed far away.

At the ABA Annual Labor & Employment Conference last week, a whole panel discussion was devoted to the legal ramifications of using artificial intelligence — particularly in hiring decisions.

As the decade comes to a close, a time traveler from 2009 might be surprised to see how rapidly laws on marijuana have changed. Last night’s Democratic Debate even featured a heated discussion about legalizing marijuana.
