Right to work State stats

The Michigan legislature recently passed right to work laws amidst raucous demonstrations. Proponents speciously argue that such laws lead to more prosperity. Of course they don't tell you that such prosperity goes to the top 1% and no one else. Let's take a look at some facts on right to work states from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that belie the regressive bullshit.

Only one of the ten States with the highest income per capita is right to work.

Of the ten States with the lowest per capita income seven were right to work.

Of the ten fastest growing States only three are right to work.

Of the ten States with the most uninsured, six are right to work.
