tennessee. a dollar will buy you more in a lot of these right to work states. the gray bar in the middle is average living costs. what we have done is ranked states from lowest living costs to highest living costs. on the other side, you can see which are the right to work and not right to work. there is only one right to work state with living costs above above the national average and that is virginia. all other 24 right to work states are below average living costs. conversely, new york, california, massachusetts, hawaii, the states with above average living costs are the states with forced union dues. one of the findings economists made is wages more or less tracked living costs. once you control for a worker's skills and human capital and abilities and any sort of local amenities like do you have good weather that would cause people to live there? once we account for those things, wages move one for one for living costs. the average new yorker might have 13% higher wages, but they are not actually getting 13% more in goods and services. they are making the same as the average americ
