License records on the Rhode Island register located in Newport County that the register does not mark expired or revoked and evidences as licenses actually held; median annual wage from BLS OEWS. Rhode Island publishes a county-level address for only 0% of its license records, so this is a count of the records that place here, not of everyone licensed to work here. The real number is higher. Counts from states that publish addresses for most of their register are not comparable with this one.
