The United States Chamber of Commerce just issued a nationwide report called “The Impact of State Employment Policies on Job Growth” which concludes that increased state regulation of the labor market has a negative impact on job creation and economic growth. The report suggests that if highly regulated states reduced the burden of labor and employment regulation in their state, that reduction would stimulate the economy as much as approximately seven months of job creation would at the current average rate.
Based on research and analysis by the law firm Seyfarth Shaw and Navigant Economics, LLC, the report places each state into one of three tiers based on its level of labor and employment regulation.
The following states were ranked as Tier I: Good – Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
The following states were ranked as Tier II: Fair -- Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
The following states were ranked as Tier III: Poor – California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin.
