Please cite your source for the above unemployment figure.

An ABC News story from 12/13/2012 states the following:

An analysis by ABC News of the most recent seasonally adjusted unemployment rates in states with right-to-work laws vs. those without such laws found that on average, the unemployment rate in states with right to work laws was slightly lower than those without. The average unemployment rate in the 24 states with right-to-work laws was 7 percent, while the average rate in the 26 states plus D.C. that do not have right-to-work laws was just under 7.6 percent--a difference of just under .6 percent.

And conversely, I've turned down employment offers on non-union railroads because the wages, benefits and workings conditions were far inferior to those on the unionized railroad I work for. Can't see any reason why I'd want to be paid less for doing exactly the same thing I'm currently doing, but to each his own I suppose. Your father worked for a unionized railroad, didn't he?
