Mark Flatten, Investigative Reporter On Fire - The Goldwater Institute, joined The Coalition Talk Radio on 12/13/19 to discuss, give voice to and explain why a seemingly endless series of Government Licenses marginalize virtually every sector of our economy ... with a special emphasis/effect on the spouses of those who service in our Nation's Military
From The Goldwater Institute:
The average military family moves every two to three years, picking up everything and getting adjusted to new neighborhoods, new schools, and new daily lives. And for military spouses, these frequent relocations can mean major disruptions in their careers. Those who work in fields that require occupational licenses often have to spend thousands of hours and thousands of dollars to continue doing their jobs in their new state—jobs they’re already licensed to do in another state.
But the Goldwater Institute believes you shouldn’t have to pursue yet another government permission slip just to keep doing a job you’re already licensed to perform. Today, we’re announcing a new initiative to break down barriers to work for military families, and starting with the release of two new Goldwater Institute reports, we’re sharing the stories of those men and women who are held back by government’s licensing red tape and explaining how to streamline the process to get them back to work as soon as possible after they move to a new state:
