When they say where is the best state to work, they mean for businesses and not for workers lol.
Basically, businesses are looking for the best state that has the lowest taxes, workers rights and so on, in other words, hell on earth for the workers and paradise for the businesses lol.
Anyway, from a European perspective, it's clear that the US needs much stronger federal laws to protect workers rights, at the moment, they are too weak and it's leaving it open for states to decide that, that's actually bad because it puts a lot of pressure on those states to lower standards to attract businesses.
I feel the EU does a much better job at that, where the EU has a high worker's right bar that members in the EU can't go below it but can have higher standards than it if they choose, the advantage of that is that it's not a race to the bottom and without that, the EU would be facing the same problems the US is facing with countries lowering standards to attract businesses, the high standards make it hard for businesses to avoid and being the EU is a big market, it's a market businesses can't afford to not be in, the US could do the same as it's a big market but the US is going to need much stronger policies from the federal government to get real change.
