About the American Trades Index

The living record of the skilled trade workforce.

We hold the full population of licensed skilled-trades workers across U.S. state registers, on one normalized schema, refreshed nightly. The point of the Index is not any single lookup — it is the movement: who enters the trade, who moves up the credential ladder, and how licensed supply is trending in each market.

Figures are neutral counts, auditable back to their source registers. We publish supply; we do not publish opinions about whether a market can absorb a given project.

Track your market licensed supply as it moves.

New licenses, ladder upgrades, classification changes and lapses, by market and credential tier. Read the quarterly free, or license the underlying data.
