“One thing red states tend to have in common is that they are right-to-work states, have lower rates of unionization and have lower wages with no state minimum wage,”

“Consider that if attitudes toward the social safety net mean a blue state is more likely to provide paid leave, then turnover probably will be lower because workers won’t have to quit to deal with a family emergency, illness or giving birth. Or if a blue state offers better unemployment benefits, laid-off workers may be able to hold out longer to find a new job that’s a better fit. And once they’re in a job that fits their skills and needs, they’re less likely to quit”

So a lack of Unions and government support for workers causes workers to change jobs often in Red States

Or it could be there's more opportunity than the fascist authoritarian Blue States with job killing labor cartels.

By Fascist I mean the government gets involved in the economy by deciding if a person can work freely or not.

While accusations of Fascism are often thrown around in American politics, the New Deal, implemented by Franklin D. Roosevelt, is an overlooked example of overtly fascist economic policies. Fascism, as defined by Mussolini, emphasized state direction of the economy, with business owners producing goods and services according to state dictates (regulations). FDR's regulatory structure and transfer of decision-making power to unelected bureaucrats mirror fascist principles. This stifles creativity, favors large corporations over small businesses, and leads to regulatory capture by industry insiders (career DC lobbyists). Those concerned about fascism should focus on repealing the New Deal and promoting a free market.

It's worth noting that the large union AFT under Randi Weingarten was directly responsible for killing school choice and also directly responsible for shuttering schools during the scamdemic, despite parent's objections.

That’s not what the experts in the article think.

By free, you mean they can work for low wages and benefits? They can be exploited by the owners of capital?

While accusations of Fascism are often thrown around in American politics, the New Deal, implemented by Franklin D. Roosevelt, is an overlooked example of overtly fascist economic policies.
That is a blatant distortion perpetrated by a dummy. When the Great Depression struck the nation people were hungry and terrified. People cried out for the kind of fascist state you described but Roosevelt rejected that path and instead chose capitalism with regulation (the New Deal)Through trial and error they found what worked and discarded what didn’t work. It lead to the greatest period of economic expansion and stability in our history ending with the Great Bush Recession of 2008 which was caused by repealing Glass-Steagall, a New Deal era banking regulation.

Source? Since it's obvious that you are diving straight into the appeal to authority fallacy with the use of the word "Experts"
You idiots need to understand that “fallacy” only applies if the authority is bogus.

Unbelievable. The “scamdemic” ? What a moron.

I know as a substitute teacher you aren’t eligible to be in the union. Haha.

So did Mussolini. If you want to open any business, you have to jump through fascist loopholes and red tape.

the authority is bogus.
Lol, Wapo. Might as just as well have cited Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum.

In Mussolini's vision, businesses would be privately owned, but they would operate under the control and direction of the state. The state would coordinate economic activities, determine wages and prices, and establish regulations to ensure social harmony and economic stability. Mussolini argued that this form of regulated capitalism would harmonize the interests of all social classes and avoid class struggle. He believed that through state intervention, the economy could be effectively managed and directed towards the collective well-being of the nation.

WAPO is not the authority, they are interviewing the authority for the article.
They are also responsible for censoring opposing viewpoints. That makes them the authority and arbitrators of wrongthink as described in Orwells 1984.

As a substitute teacher for a shitty high school, are you really qualified to make these assertions?

First they would need to Find someone with an opposing viewpoint who is credentialed to speak.

You have an opposing viewpoint but don’t have the credentials to be credible. You typically get your information from bloggers on YouTube.
Because you’re a dummy who lacks critical thinking skills

Again, a justification to reject wrongthink. Orwell prophesized today's reality.
More bullshit. To speak as an expert, to be an authority on some subject, one needs to be credentialed to be credible.

you’re a dummy who lacks critical thinking skills 

When engaging in discussions or debates, you should focus on the content of the argument I made rather than resorting to personal attacks or questioning someone's qualifications. It would be more constructive to address the specific points I made rather than dismissing them based on a job or experiences. What you wrote is clearly an example of the ad hominem fallacy, specifically an appeal to personal circumstances. This classical fallacy occurs when someone attacks the person making an argument rather than addressing the argument itself. When you bring up any person's job, not just a substitute teacher, in a negative light, you are attempting to discredit their statements without directly addressing the content of their argument. This is your continued appeal to authority fallacy in action. A more productive approach would be to critically analyze the points being made and respond with well-reasoned counterarguments or requests for evidence to support my assertions. If somehow you were to focus on the substance of the discussion and avoiding fallacious reasoning, you will foster a more constructive and meaningful exchange of ideas.

When engaging in discussions or debates, it is important to remain focused on the content of the argument and avoid making personal attacks or questioning someone's qualifications. You may feel inclined as demonstrated often on this site to discredit others based on your own fears or insecurities regarding your credibility or job status. In the end, this projection does not actually address the validity of the arguments being presented. Engaging in discussions should be driven by the merits of the ideas being exchanged rather than personal anxieties or delusions. You should engage in conversations with an open mind, evaluating the evidence, logic, and reasoning behind each position. Dismissing someone's viewpoints based on personal fears or assumptions about their credibility can hinder constructive dialogue and prevent meaningful engagement with different perspectives. if you focus instead on the substance of the discussion and maintain a respectful and open-minded approach, we can all enjoy more productive conversations that contribute to a deeper understanding of the topics at hand.

You should remember that everyone has different perspectives, experiences, and knowledge bases, and making assumptions about someone's abilities without proper evidence or understanding is unfair. Engaging in projection, where one projects their own insecurities or fears onto others with childish name calling will hinder productive communication, create a hostile environment, and prevent a genuine exchange of ideas.

So red states = more jobs available

If you dont change jobs, that means you are either happy with a job or you have no alternative.

When you have alternatives, its easier to find jobs suitable for you.

No, red states = more churn.

The article specifically says there are not more jobs in red states, just more people changing jobs.

Diverse choices is key. If the only job you can get is from a large corporation facilitated with fascist regulatory policies and corporate welfare, there are not many options.

That’s not how logical fallacies work, especially the appeal to authority one…🤦‍♂️ GP was correct in his initial observation since you never cited the source in your OP.

More people changing jobs = more jobs available 

Number of jobs =/= number of jobs available

If I quit one job for another, number of jobs stays the same as if I just had one job and didnt quit it.

However, what changes is that I moved to a job more suitable for me.

People changing jobs is something that is good for those people. They move to better jobs, plus the employers have to treat workers better or their workers will leave.

Workers not changing jobs is something to be more worried about.

If every job is equally bad, changing jobs doesnt lead to improvement. Also, if there are no other jobs available, you cant change jobs.

Yes, in the job market they do. Its so much easier to work if you know you can quit at any time and find a new job easily. Its much less stress.
Of course, there is no alternative to giving worker a choice. If workers are not given a choice, they will not work better nor be more happier.

Yes, those red states weren't creating jobs faster. They were just hiring more often because folks were bouncing around more. Red states don't have more layoffs or job openings than blue ones, they just have more quits and hires.  Even within industries and companies, employers pay different wages across states, depending on what they can get away with. One thing red states tend to have in common is that they are right-to-work states, have lower rates of unionization and have lower wages with no state minimum wage. And, of course, workers in red states tend to earn less than their blue-state peers . Analysis showed workers from low-income families face higher turnover in red states, even as folks from higher-income families actually had more job security in those same places.
The disparity seems rooted in education. The job-turnover gap between Trump and Biden states yawns widest among those with the least education. It closes as worker education rises and completely flips for workers with the highest education:
To recap Biden states are smart states and Trump states are stupid states. Is there a Harvard or MIT in a Trump state?

We can always count on you to invoke Godwin's law and attempt to censor opposing viewpoints by making it a "Trump" issue like forcing a round peg into a square hole. Not everyone believes the world revolves around Trump.

And it only took 22 posts this time.

Biden states are smart states 
It's hard to take any sentence seriously that has the word Smart and Biden so close together considering Biden's documented dementia medical condition...

That’s not how logical fallacies work,
If you cite a bogus source, an expert who is not an expert, that is also an appeal to authority fallacy.

An example of appeal to authority fallacy would be citing the Bible

In the article it said people in red states likely take jobs that are unsuitable because of a lack of government support i.e. inadequate unemployment benefits

Workers not changing jobs is something to be more worried about.
Again, you are stating the opposite of what experts would tell you

If you cite a bogus source...
Not necessarily. If you are citing a source for context rather than for "expert" authority, you won't fall into the trap of logical fallacies.

Qualifying all content written by "non-Experts" as bogus would also nullify every post you have ever made on this site. The fallacy is a 2-edged sword.

Again, you are stating the opposite of what experts would tell you
The "experts" that Wapo regularly censors due to partisan principle such as Noble laureate Milton Friedman would disagree with your chosen "experts."
