Introduction
States That Work: A Labor Policy Roadmap Across America ranks all 50 states on their adoption of pro-worker, pro-growth labor reforms. This comprehensive report highlights where workers enjoy the most economic freedom—and where outdated mandates still hold them back.
Now in its fourth edition, this report grades states based on 10 key labor policies vetted and recommended by ALEC’s Commerce, Insurance, and Economic Development Task Force and featured in ALEC’s Essential Policy Solutions, including the Right to Work Act and Occupational Licensing Review Act.
Using this information, workers, businesses, and lawmakers can identify if a state’s policies are hindering or protecting worker freedom and flexibility.
