“Many government licenses are required of relatively low-skill jobs, and these requirements eliminate the bottom rungs of the economic ladder for many poor and less-educated people.  The Institute for Justice examined licensing requirements for 102 low- and moderate-income occupations such as barber, florist, makeup artist, massage therapist, preschool teacher, shampooer, and tree trimmer in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.  The report found that five of the six states that impose the heaviest licensing burdens in the country are in the West.  Consider, for example, the nation’s most populous state of California, ranked second worst.”
