    Secretary Acosta Retweeted ALEC

    In 1950, about 1 in 20 jobs required a license. Now, it's about 1 in 4. Excessive licensing creates barriers for job seekers. #ALECinCOhttps://twitter.com/alec_states/status/888401326186651650 …

        Would you trust someone without a license to install your hot water heater? Do heart surgery?

        The licensing & certification programs, classes, & tests have become outrageously burdensome for all job sectors. Ripping off middle class.
