In 2010, only TWO RTW state made it into the top 10 GDP per capita
FACT
Those states were Wyoming and Viriginia
List of U.S. states by GDP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Upon further inspection we note that only 9 of the 25 states with above average per capita GDP are RTW -
The remaining 13 of the 22 states with RTW work statutes in 2010 were in the bottom 25 states. 6 of those in the bottom 10.
Let me break this down for you.
In 2010-
Chances your state is in the top 20% of GDP per capita:
9% if a RTW state, 30% if not a RTW state
Chances your state is in the top 50% of GDP per capita:
41% if a RTW state, 59% if not a RTW state
Chances your state is in the bottom 20% of GDP per capita:
27% if a RTW state, 15% if not a RTW state
Its quite clear to me that RTW laws are not only bad for labor, they are BAD for business.
