A recent report based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data confirms what was anecdotally apparent: Jobs continue to flood out of pro-union states and into states with more free-market policies.
Right-to-work (RTW) states added 1.3 million jobs since the start of the pandemic, while non-RTW states lost 1.1 million jobs, according to a study by economist Todd Nesbit and public policy analyst Michael LaFaive. RTW laws state that workers can’t be forced to join unions or pay union dues.
