An analysis of Haley’s record shows a generally strong commitment to limited government principles surrounding labor policy and promoting employment. As Governor, she had an outstanding record in standing up to union bosses and decreasing union power. However, she often missed the mark on issues relating to occupational licensure, making it more difficult and costly to obtain employment.
