States with high amounts of Union workers

[Tahoe]

Mxy did you ever hear these arguments that states with high numbers of union labor have high unemployment rates? I'm not sold on it, but it was a lil interesting to listen to it. It was some sort of study over a long period of time though

I thought maybe the correlation was more of those industries that typically use union labor have been hit hardest, but I'm not sure about that either.

Labor unions can act to artificially influence the natural labor market and thus probably have an indirect effect on unemployment.

Yeah, this is an "of course" Tahoe. But the workers of that state will always make more in cumulative income than non union.

I dunno... hadn't heard about it.

At the moment, unemployment rates are getting to be too high everywhere. South Carolina has 9.5% unemployment, and that's not a big union state.
