    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.
