Contractor market data
If you hold a licence rather than hire one, these pages are for you. 715,422 licences across 8 jurisdictions, counted from the licensing boards' own files: how crowded your trade already is where you work, how many of your competitors have a renewal coming, and how many licences each board issues.

Licences issued per year, all jurisdictions
Counted from the issue date each board publishes on the licence itself. Texas is absent from this one because TDLR does not publish an issue date in its public file, and a number we cannot source is a number we will not print.

|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 25,561 | |

| 2022 | 40,980 | |
| 2023 | 44,486 | |
| 2024 | 46,175 | |
| 2025 | 51,128 | |

What these pages are not
They are not legal or regulatory advice, and they do not tell you what licence you need or what insurance you must carry. Plenty of sites will, and the ones that matter are the boards themselves. What is here instead is the part nobody else can publish: counts from the live register, updated every day.
