Just of out curiosity, what state is a non-union state?


Many southeastern states, like Mississippi, are 'right to work' states. Essentially, killing unions for anything other than highly skilled workers.


Yeah, but that's not, by it's terms a "non-union" state since, as you point out, there are unions there. And, of course, those states don't ban unions. They just allow employees to opt out of joining or paying dues.

I would also note that it appears that "right to work" states have higher per capita incomes, better unemployment rates and, as a result, more favorable population shifts.
