Occupational Licensing Dashboard

The Occupational Licensing Dashboard depicts the prevalence of licensure—across occupations and states—alongside a selection of worker and occupation characteristics. To begin, select an occupation or all workers from the drop-down menu. The map will then show the fraction of a state’s licensed population made up by that occupation’s licensed workers. Click a state to see state-specific statistics, alongside estimates for the entire U.S., in the accompanying figures to the right of the map.
