I heard one time that we should read “Right To Work” as “Right To Work, For Less”. Helps to understand the reasoning behind its existence. Just more capital over labor bullshit.

Right to work states (alphabetical):

1. Alabama
2. Arizona
3. Arkansas
4. Florida
5. Georgia
6. Idaho
7. Indiana
8. Iowa
9. Kansas
10. Kentucky
11. Louisiana
12. Michigan
13. Mississippi
14. Nebraska
15. Nevada
16. North Carolina
17. North Dakota
18. Oklahoma
19. South Carolina
20. South Dakota
21. Tennessee
22. Texas
23. Utah
24. Virginia
25. West Virginia
26. Wisconsin
27. Wyoming

Lowest 10 state GDP per capita (2023):

51: Mississippi

50: West Virginia

49: Arkansas

48: Alabama

47: South Carolina

46: New Mexico

45: Idaho

44: Montana

43: Kentucky

42: Oklahoma

New Mexico and Montana are apparently not right to work but rank low in GDP per capita. The highest GDP per capita right to work state is North Dakota, ranked 6th in GDP per capita after California (5th) and before Connecticut (7th). Nebraska is the only other right to work state in the top 10 GDP per capita coming in at number 10.

Apologies for formatting, etc. I did this on mobile from my bed.

There are a lot more than 10 right to work states aren’t there? How do they line up on average?
