What Do We Know About Occupational Licensing?

Bob Greene: What do we know about occupational licensing? Are there areas where you're fairly certain that customers would benefit or consumers would benefit if we got rid of it? He says in theory, the idea is that consumers are not well informed about the quality of a supplier. Greene: This could be achieved by first going to a school, like in lawyers, and then passing an examination,. Other forms of licensing are not as demanding.
