In this episode of “Eastern Panhandle Talk” with Rob Mario and Dave Welch, Cardinal’s Executive Director, Garrett Ballengee, discusses the findings from its most recent research report looking into West Virginia’s occupational licensing regime. The study, co-authored with the Knee Center for the Study of Occupational Regulation, compared the respective hurdles put into place by licensing boards and commissions in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Sadly, West Virginia’s hurdles are very high.
