Over One in Five

Estimates suggest that more than one in five workers (approximately 22%) in the United States is directly impacted by occupational regulation, a percentage that has grown from 5% in the 1950s.

Research Conferences

In addition to developing a national database of occupational regulation that is freely available to the public, the Knee Center also organizes panels at national research conferences and prepares research reports on the subject.

Licensing Reform

The Knee Center supports the establishment of a framework for licensing reform that encourages a thoughtful approach to licensing and results in a regulatory environment that better serves the public interest.
