Our state talks like they want people working but puts up roadblocks at every chance. I'm a master electrician, and we just went thru a state licensing ordeal that took 18 months and resulted in a lot of qualified people saying it ain't worth it and changing careers. New license alone was $375 plus your insurance and bonding plus another 18 CEU's in 3 years.

They're doing it to the other trades now, all in the name of safety. Guys who get laid off when a big contractor gets slow used to pick up small repair jobs to get thru the winter.
