Identifying employment patterns and trends can be subtle business. Sophisticated statistical analysis is a virtual necessity in litigation over employment issues. Not only do we have the tools to get it right (the theoretical expertise, the statistical and econometric skills, familiarity with the ins and outs of employer record keeping, and the knowledge of and access to publicly available benchmark data), we are experts in all these areas. And, perhaps most importantly, we know how to explain it all so that the statistical results ring true.
