Michigan State University Professor Charles Ballard told an audience at the Detroit Economic Club recently that per-capita earnings in right-to-work states are about $5,000 less than in non-right-to-work states.

What he didn't say was that Michigan's per-capita earnings as a non-right-to-work state were below right-to-work states in 2011.

Those saying that right-to-work per-capita income is higher than non-right-to-work states often don't take into consideration the trends when compared to forced unionization states. Those poorer states were earning less even before right-to-work became an option. In recent decades, right-to-work states have grown faster in population, jobs and income when compared to forced unionization states.

The first states to give workers the freedom to choose whether they want to pay to be in a union as a condition of employment did so in 1947.

States that adopted right-to-work laws didn't become poor because of the law. Most were struggling already. For example, Texas' per capita income was on average $540 from 1929 to 1946, which at that time put it 36 percent below the average per capita income of the states that became non-right-to-work states. In 2011, Texas? per capita income was $40,147 and was just 8 percent below the per capita income of non-right-to-work states.
