[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1618720, member: 8035"] I'd say that union labor being more expensive is more of a reason for labor to move to right to work states than to leave the country. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics collected from 1997-2007 (a fairly stable decade) show that right to work states crush forced union states in both job growth and economic growth. The percentages can be found [URL="http://www.americansforprosperity.org/021909-right-work-and-productivity-numbers"]here[/URL]. As far as motivation to ship jobs overseas, I'd say that I agree with you that a lot of it has to do with other factors, to include rampant regulation and a heinous tax system. [/QUOTE]
