Do conservatives understand how conservative economics undervalues their own labor?

Many red states have low unemployment, positive state budgets, quality education at a cheaper price and better health care than the national average.

Ohio Unemployment rate 10%
Indiana unemployment rate 9.6%
Wyoming 6.9%
Idaho 8.3%
Texas 8.1%
Illinois 10.5%
California 12.3%

I would say the higher unemployment rates were about living in the past. One state in the South has a high unemployment rate because it went heavy into textiles, something every country in the world produces, often times cheaper.
 
Conservatives seem to believe that their ire is reserved for Unions, far from it as the Unions are largely dead or dying. The value of labor itself has been under siege for almost a decade thanks to free trade and capital flight sending the jobs to wherever is cheaper, initiating bidding wars where only the workers lose. My great state of Ohio has historically been VERY business friendly(and anti-labor), for example, and as its reward it is now officially in the rust belt with 4 of the top ten worst cities in America, with my hometown as #1. Wonder what turned that red state blue, look no further than that? Labor is a commodity like all things of value, when its value plummets most of our boats sink. What will wake conservatives up to see that good people who WANT to work and work hard in the private sector are taking one beating after another?
I know that Pork, but policies endorsed by conservatives affect the market value.
