GOP-Governed and Right-To-Work States Saved the Economy’s Bacon in 2011
That the top job producing states are huge oil extraction states during a boom time in that sector never entered the calculation, did it? No, that would have inconvenienced the RTW position.
Indiana did remarkably well considering it has a vey large manufaturing component where manufacturing has taken a beating nationwide in the last decade and a half. A RTW law wasn’t part of Indiana’s successes and neither was participating in an energy boom. Daniels deserves credit for outmaneuvering his state’s disadvantages.
I read this very morning that private employer union membership has slipped to 6.7% of the workforce. And you’re going to tell me that this 6.7% is a determinate factor in the top six job producing state over oil extraction or nationwide? Some ‘splainin’ is needed.
If you were honest you would have shortened your piece. Say, ” I hate unions and they are the cause of everything from plugged toilets to Martian invasions.” It would be less confusing and more accurate.
