What has been the relationship between State "Right-To-Work" laws and unemployment? This report examines the research literature on the issue, conducts several new statistical tests, and explores recent advances in labor economic theory that relate to the problem. This study also examines whether "Right-To-Work" laws have altered the allocation of Federal funding based on formulas which use unemployment rates.
