And Virginia is another "Right to Work" state.

Wages and Salaries
Coupled with employment growth, average annual wages and salaries give an even better picture of Virginia's economic health. In 2010, Virginia's average wage was $50,957, exceeding the national average ($47,046). New York led all states with an average wage of $59,545 in 2010. Maryland's average wage ($53,035) was higher than Virginia, while North Carolina ($42,203) and Tennessee ($41,053) had notably lower average wages. In 2011, Virginia again ranked seventh among the states in per capita personal income, with $45,920 per capita income. National per capita income stood at $41,633. The highest 2011 per capita income was in Connecticut at $56,889. (Another Right to Work state!)

Not too bad for a state where the workers cannot force other workers into their unions.
