One professional license was issued in Long Beach during November, according to California’s Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA). In the previous month, there were two licenses issued, marking a 50 percent decrease month over month.

Carson had the most professional licenses issued in the area with two.

The DCA is composed of several agencies, bureaus, and commissions that influence business growth and job creation through regulation. The agency has roots that date back to 1876 when California passed the Medical Practice Act of 1876. Today the agency issues more than 280 license types including certificates, registrations, and permits.
