If you’re feeling the burden of bureaucracy in your small business, you’re not alone. Pennsylvania recently received a D grade in the Thumbtack and Kauffman Foundation business climate rankings, as reported by The Economist.

Specifically, the state got a D for its tax code and a D+ for the business-friendliness of its regulations, with a higher 43 percent of low-income occupations requiring a state license.

Pennsylvania’s poor grade, according to the Economist, is epitomized in the experience of a Philly architect who wasted two weeks chasing after utility maps just to apply to build a stoop for a client — on top of the time he already spent documenting insurance coverage and paying taxes.
