"I'm a fan of ERI and the California Employer Advisor. I started subscribing years ago, probably when ERI was initiated. It's my favorite employment publication and have subscribed at each employer and used with HR staff. It's a quick read and gives the core of an issue and is current. I like the lay-out and also subscribe on-line. It's just a quality experience."
