Across the country, it takes longer to get a license to braid hair than to become an EMT. We've built an occupational licensing regime so sprawling and so captured by incumbent interests that it quietly functions as a tax on working-class mobility — and almost nobody in Washington treats it as the crisis it is. This week, we trace how a system sold as consumer protection became one of the most effective poverty traps in modern American life. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
