How licensing reform can boost U.S. workforce WashTimesOpEd
This problem appears to be worst in the South. Recent analysis suggests that there are 2 million open jobs in the South and insufficient workers to fill them.
The average state in the U.S. licenses 150 of these professions. Five states — Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri and Wyoming — are well below this average and come in at the bottom of our national ranking. Perhaps it makes sense for consumers and aspiring workers to bear this cost for some professions. But how can we justify a license for an electrical sign apprentice in Texas? Texas is the only state in the country with this license. Or for a florist in Louisiana? Again, Louisiana is the only state in the country with this license.
Is there a way forward? Several states have moved ahead with reform in recent years. Only two states in the country require ocularists, who fit people for glass eyes, to get licensed. At the end of 2024, only one state will license ocularists. Ohio will eliminate ocularist licensing after conducting a thorough review of its licensing requirements. This will leave Washington as yet another state that chooses to uniquely license a profession.
