US Census Bureau data clearly shows, that when they have a choice, working-age people prefer not to live in forced-unionism states.

Compulsory Unionism Correlated With Lower Real Compensation

The fact is, nonpartisan analysts such as the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center (MERIC), a state government agency, consistently find that compulsory-unionism states as a group have a substantially higher cost of living than do Right to Work states as a group.

When considered together with MERIC’s cost-of-living data, statistics from the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) show that the real purchasing power of the average Right to Work state employee’s paycheck is greater than it is for the average forced-unionism state employee.
