State construction apprentice-to-journeyman ratio requirements by trade
Canonical, always-current version: https://referencesource.org/state-apprenticeship-ratios-by-trade/ Machine-readable: https://referencesource.org/state-apprenticeship-ratios-by-trade/data.json — this mirror is a point-in-time copy.

Apprentice-to-journeyman ratio requirements for construction trades in each US state. Each record is one state and one trade or program, giving the initial ratio (how many journeymen for the first apprentice), the ratio thereafter (how many additional journeymen per additional apprentice), and whether it applies to public works, private, or both. Answers 'what is the apprentice-to-journeyman ratio for [trade] in [state]' and 'how many journeymen do I need before I can hire another apprentice on this job'. Ratios vary widely, and states structure them differently: some (MN) delegate to individual JATC programs, each with its own ratio; others (CA) set a state-wide hourly ratio on public works with trade-specific exemptions.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and
source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you
cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one;
these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on
the canonical site at its url.
Licence position
Facts from state labor department pages and apprenticeship regulations; ratio requirements are not copyrightable
Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
