Study Reveals U.S. Consumers and Economy Lose Billions to Occupational Licensing
For anyone that wants to read the study.<p>(<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ij.org&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2018&#x2F;11&#x2F;Licensure_Report_WEB.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ij.org&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2018&#x2F;11&#x2F;Licensure_Report_W...</a>)<p>I glanced through it and was not impressed.Why would they not show me what are the pros and cons of licensing besides just the cost. Would you not want someone to be able to verify that they have the skills to do what they say they offer. ( I understand that depending on the occupation this may be up for debate, due to verification issues and people gaming the tests, but I bet it becomes paramount where the occupation is related a matter of life or death like a doctor&#x2F;surgeon.<p>I am sure there are things where getting a license is ridiculous, but for other areas where it is absolutely necessary.<p>What I found interesting is that, those with licenses make more money?<p>It seems if I wanted to lobby an organization to suppress wages, it be at a place such as the &quot; Institute for Justice.&quot;
