A Green Light For Union-Free Job Training?
One of the key goals of the U.S. Department of Labor since President Donald Trump’s second term commenced in January 2025 has been to expand the number of apprenticeships in America to “at least a million.”
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.

From 2015 to 2025, state and local governments’ collective spending soared by 62% (26 percentage points above the CPI), reaching nearly $4.4 trillion a year. Yet Big Labor propagandists insist government is being “starved”!
With President Trump’s sharp rollback of union monopoly bargaining in federal workplaces in effect, federal taxpayers have reportedly been getting better services while saving tens of billions of dollars in payroll costs.
