Every year economist Ronald Pollina studies the economic environment of all 50 states and culls the information into a list of the “Top 10 Pro-Business States.” Pollina has just completed his 2009 study and the winners are:
1. Virginia
2. Utah
3. North Carolina
4. Wyoming
5. South Carolina
6. South Dakota
7. Kansas
8. Georgia
9. Florida
10. Nebraska
Readers please note that all 10 states have a critical component in common — they all protect workers with Right to Work laws.
