So far it's just talk. But, at least some bureaucrat has a brain.
The White House's new report critical of occupational licensing may be a good sign or first step, but we're a long way at best from states actually making reforms.
Sorry about the HTML typo.
“But forced union membership and dues are something we’d like to see nationwide.”
Let me guues: Feral solution is to have Fdreal licensing.
I certainly think that licensing requirements for many professions are over the top. But are we willing to do away with licensing medical professionals? Dentists?
And isn’t this a State issue? There is more than enough burdensome federal requirements out there, get rid of those!
Yeah, let’s let doctors just hang up a shingle......................
WHITE PRIVILEDGE!
“Disparate Impact”
This BS is even on radar? I’m sure it’s high on the list of thing Americans worry about.
Libtardarians have too much time after smoking pot to think of crap.
FROM THE ARTICLE:
They hit some populations especially hard, including...
Immigrants: In many cases, immigrants with education and training from their home countries are expected to “complete duplicative and costly requirements in order to acquire a U.S. license in their chosen career,” write the report authors. This makes “it difficult for immigrants to work in fields where they have valuable experience and training” which “deprives the U.S. market of a large share of their skills, and makes it difficult for these workers to make their full contribution to the workforce.”
People with criminal convictions: In 25 states, occupational licensing can be denied if an applicant has any kind of criminal conviction, regardless of how long ago that conviction was or whether it’s at all relevant to the job in question.
Military spouses: Around 35 percent of working military spouses are in professions that require state licensing or certification. Military spouses “are ten times more likely to have moved across State lines in the last year than their civilian counterparts,” making it especially difficult for those who need occupational licenses to easily transfer jobs between states.
People who default on student loans: In 21 states, defaulting on student loans is sufficient grounds for the suspension or revocation of person’s occupational license. The policy is “misguided,” suggest the study authors, “as losing an occupational license may make it more difficult for the worker to repay the student loan.”
