There is a new study that questions why so many people in Wisconsin are required to get a license just to do their jobs.
The Badger Institute and the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty yesterday released a report that says over a million people in the state need a ‘government permission slip’ to do their jobs. Everyone from doctors and lawyers, to barbers and hairdressers need a license to work in Wisconsin. The report suggests cutting that number dramatically, and adopting a Right to Earn a Living law that creates a way for people to work without the burden of a state-mandated license hanging over their head. The study says licenses actually keep many people from being able to go into business for themselves.
