“When people are thinking about moving to another state, whether or not they’ll need a new license and how difficult that process will be is a factor,” Shoshana Weissmann, a fellow with the R Street Institute who specializes in occupational licensing reform, told the Washington Examiner. “But when military servicemen and women serve our country, we make them move and put their spouses out of work. Military spouses were 10 times as likely to have moved to a new state in the past year than the average American.”
