NPOV

This article seems like it was written with a very libertarian perspective on the subject of occupational licensing, which may not reflect a Neutral Point of View on this subject. There are multiple political views that could be relevant to this subject, which I think should be more objectively discussed.

Should this article be re-written to describe this profession in a more non-partisan, objective manner? 27.253.115.23 (talk) 13:53, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

This is super biased.

This article strikes me as amazingly biased towards this position:

"requiring a license to do work is stupid"

Shouldn't a plumber have a license? Can't he fuck up plumb intalations?

Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
There was no discussion after 10 days, so proceeding with merge.

I propose merging Licensure into this page. Here's why:

  • I think these are basically equivalent terms (this page gives 'Occupational Licensure' as an alternative title)
  • The other page is older and less well developed
  • The issue is gaining traction politically, particularly in the US, and 'Occupational Licensing' seems to be the more popular termterm[1]

Bringing over the 'criticism' section could help address the above point about bias.

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
