[QUOTE="Scuba Steve, post: 2050399, member: 51466"] WV should be a right to work state. The problem with WV besides the poor educational system is the people there. Everybody is looking for a free ride in WV. They will work for a short period of time, fake an injury or get injured purposely to get out of having to work. They want paid though. This is a quote from the WSJ showing that WV ranks number one in Social Security Disability payments. " [B]1. West Virginia[/B] [B]> Pct. of working age population with benefits:[/B] 9.0% [B]> Pct. with recurring neck and back pain:[/B]39.0% (the highest) [B]> 2011 labor force participation rate:[/B] 54.1% (the lowest) [B]> 2011 unemployment rate[/B]: 7.8% (23rd lowest) No state had a higher percentage of working age people receiving SSDI benefits than West Virginia. In addition, the benefits received from by the federal government were more generous compared to most states. The average monthly benefit of more than $1,140 in 2011 was the 10th highest of all states. Almost 21% of recipients received monthly benefits of at least $1,600, a higher percentage than all but three states. Like most states on this list, West Virginia is among the less-educated states in the country. Just 18.5% of the adult population had a bachelor’s degree, the lowest percentage of all states. Also, few residents in the state had jobs. Just 54.1% of residents were considered part of the labor force in 2011, by far the lowest percentage of any state in the nation." [/QUOTE]
