Minnesota
Minnesota is an SAA state and is not right-to-work — it has strong union density in construction. The Dept. of Labor and Industry (DLI) licenses electricians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors at the state level. License lookup and applications are available through DLI's online licensing system.
