Populist State Economy Fix: Not Require College Degrees for Jobs

Larry Hogan did it in spring 2022, as did Colorado Governor Jared Polis. GOP Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah ended 2022 with this step and Maryland Governor Wes Moore started his year by making this move. Not a red or blue issue but a support the working class issue.
