Your Job, and How It's Regulated

Our mission is to provide information to citizens, policy makers, and other researchers about the extent, scope, and effects of occupational regulation.

Use our Find Occupations page to select your State, Industry, and Occupation. It's that easy to learn what regulations and certifications affect your career field.

Established in 2016, The Knee Center for the Study of Occupational Regulation (CSOR) is an academic research center within the Shields School of Business at Saint Francis University. Located on the 3rd floor of the newly renovated Schwab Hall, the center offers student fellows the opportunity to conduct, analyze, and present research that goes toward developing a national database of occupational regulation, focusing first on healthcare occupations.

At CSOR, a big part of our commitment is to understand the effect that occupational regulation has on members and veterans of our armed forces.

Did you know that our military veterans, after serving their country, often move to civilian life with less of a chance of getting a job than the average American. One reason is unaddressed mental health issues a veteran may have after combat.

Additionally, studies show that veterans are less likely to highlight their individual skills, something employers may be looking for, and focus on their group participation and successes.

A priority at CSOR is to seek a better understanding of the challenges veterans face as they return to civilian life.

The Knee CSOR received the Veterans Accelerated Learning for Licensed Occupations Project (VALLO) grant through the U.S. Department of Labor. This $1 million grant has allowed SFU to launch the new Veterans Accelerated Learning Program (VALP) and provide scholarship money to help with any expenses the G.I. Bill doesn’t cover for them.
