Well, if enough of these laws get passed, we will see the effects. Personally, I see it like trying to solve the problem of an out of control freight train by ramming it with another out of control freight train. Sure, it might solve your problem, but you're just creating more issues. We should fight crime by stimulating the economy and making sure there are plenty of jobs, because those are proven factors in lowering the crime rate. It would do us a lot of good to fix our disastrous mental health system, too.
I would think a single state would have a large enough population to provide a reasonable sample.
Jobs don't help people. If jobs made peoples lives better we could give people spoons and have them dig a canal from the east coast to the west coast....then fill it back up lest we cause the stickle back fish to go extinct.
What makes peoples lives better is the availability of goods and services and the means for people to exchange goods and services. What improves peoples lives is production and money(since it is the tool by which we exchange goods and services). Create an environment where goods and services are readily produced and readily exchanged then you improve peoples lives.
