•HRES 620 IH 
Whereas given State right-to-work (RTW) laws in 27 States, 
specifically Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Geor-
gia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, 
Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Caro-
lina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South 
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, 
Wisconsin, and Wyoming, are essential to safeguarding 
the political freedom of workers and growing those States 
economies; 
Whereas 
RTW 
laws 
attract 
business 
expansion 
and 
incentivize economic investment; 
Whereas a report by NERA 360 consulting for the Chamber 
of Commerce in May 2018 found that— 
(1) private sector employment grew by 27 percent in 
RTW States between 2001 and 2016, compared to 15 
percent in non-RTW States; 
(2) on average, the annual unemployment rate in 
RTW States was 0.4 percentage points lower than in 
non-RTW States, which means that if non-RTW States 
had had the same unemployment rate as RTW States in 
2017, approximately 249,000 more people would have 
been employed; 
(3) output has also grown faster in RTW States, ris-
ing by 38 percent between 2001 and 2016, compared to 
29 percent in non-RTW States; 
(4) four of the top five States with the largest 
growth in real per capita output over this period are 
RTW States; 
(5) real manufacturing output rose by over 30 per-
cent in RTW States between 2001 and 2016 compared 
with 21 percent in non-RTW States;
