Abstract
Over the past few years, occupational licensure issues made headlines across media and policy organizations and appeared at the top of key lawmakers’ agendas. The majority of the articles focus on evaluating the necessity of licensure for certain professions and highlight the growth of licensure over the past 60 years, often citing the fact that one in four professions in the United States now requires a license ( Hultin, 2018 Hultin S.
