There isn't much that Americans agree on these days, but one of the few issues that brings most of us together is the no-brainer effort to reform the tangle of occupational licensing rules that are strangling Americans' mobility and prosperity.
Whatever their differences, the two men agree that restrictive licensing rules are bad for Americans.
"Such licensing requirements make it hard for people in those professions to move from place to place, where wages are higher or where their services are more needed."
An awful lot of people are arguably stuck because of growing occupational licensing requirements.
The previous administration shared identical concerns about occupational licensing.
"Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing completes national construction fraud sting, nabs unlicensed contractors statewide with 96 Administrative Citations and $543K in fines," the Beehive State government trumpeted last month in a press release heavy on gloating about interfering in voluntary deals among people seeking work and others eager to hire them.
The weight of evidence, decency, and common sense is in favor of sweeping away the worst excesses of occupational licensing.
