Increasing Economic and Geographic Mobility

What it means

This order aims to reduce burdensome occupational licensing requirements across America. It establishes principles for reforming regulations that can impede job mobility and economic growth, particularly affecting military spouses and those with criminal records.

Expected impact

• Increased job mobility for workers moving between states by reducing unnecessary licensing barriers
• Potentially lower prices for consumers as competition increases in previously restricted occupations
• Expanded employment opportunities for military spouses who relocate frequently
• Greater economic inclusion for people with criminal records seeking employment
• Improved coordination between federal agencies and state governments on licensing reform
