Right to work creates more jobs

Neil Stevens:

A dozen commenters are all poised, seeing this headline, to rush in and say in the snottiest voice possible “But Maryland is a forced unionism state. How can the right work help them?”

As it turns out, since the launch of WMATA’s Metro Silver Line train running toward Dulles Airport in Virginia, many people stuck in forced-unionism Maryland are finding work in Virginia, which is making leftist policy analysts unhappy. The lengths Maryland residents have to travel to find work is an embarrassment to their dead-end policies.

Virginia just keeps creating one economic hot spot after another. Tyson’s Corner was a wealthy, bustling spot before the government train went there (contrary to those who claim it is ‘transit’ that produces wealth). In fact the Tysons Galleria is one of the most upscale malls in the world. If you’re not in the market for things like a $100 hair cut, your options are limited in that mall.

All this wealth in right-to-work Virginia is creating entry level job opportunities of the kind you just don’t find in forced-unionism Maryland and DC, so people stuck there are enjoying the opportunity to take train commutes to where work can be found. A non-ideological person might ask “Why is Virginia better at making jobs, and how can Maryland and DC replicate that?”

We should make the whole US a right to work country.  It would increase jobs aan prosperity for everyone but union bosses.
