The Post had an article on the decline of pension plans provided by companies, pointing to Minnesota and Iowa as exceptions to a general decline of such plans.
What stood out to me was that MN and IA weren't exceptional, didn't stand out in any of the maps shown from 1980 to 2014. In the 1980-94 period they weren't in the top rank of states. It's only in the 2014-19 period that they become exceptions. So whatever is the cause of their slower rate of decline, it seems to me it's unlikely to be deep-rooted trends, such as labor unions.
