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.

49: Arkansas
48: Alabama
47: South Carolina

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.
Michigan repealed their right to work laws.
There are a lot more than 10 right to work states aren’t there? How do they line up on average?
Apparently, the 10 poorest are on the bottom
