With regards to its employees, the Federal Reserve claims to be exempt from all state and federal employment laws. However, apparently for political reasons, it agrees to abide by Title VII, ADEA and other Federal Anti-Discrimination statutes. From what I have been told , as a work place,it feels and functions more like a bank or other private financial institution than a governmental entity. SR
