Limitations
These figures have three limitations. First, every rate is self-reported and unverified. Second, the sample is self-selected: 26% of all reports come from Georgia, where the launch discussion reached furthest. Third, license is missing on 53 of 301 rows. Nevertheless, they are the only public per-state figures available to a therapist weighing an offer, and every added report narrows the ranges above.
