Your Retirement State

October 18, 2013 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Map of Right to Work states vs forced unionism states.

Map of Right to Work states vs forced unionism states.

You may want to consider Barron’s state rankings when choosing a state for retirement. At some point the bill will come due for the bad actor states. Is your state a right-to-work state—you can’t be forced to join a union as a condition of employment? The National Right to Work Committee’s Stan Greer on Barron’s rankings:

The table shows that the eight states with the highest share of combined debt and unfunded pension liabilities as a share of GDP are, starting with the worst of all, Connecticut, Illinois, Hawaii, Alaska, Massachusetts, West Virginia, New Jersey and Kentucky.  Not one of these states has a Right to Work law.  Among the 20 bottom-ranking states, 17 lack Right to Work laws.

In contrast, every single one of the 16 states that are least encumbered by debt and unfunded pension liabilities has a Right to Work law on the books.  Starting with the most fiscally sound of all, they are:  Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Carolina, Nevada, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota, Florida, Arizona, Wyoming, Michigan, Georgia, Utah, Alabama and Tennessee.
