Some 30% of the country’s total union members live in New York or California.
US union membership fell to a record low as a share of the workforce in 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The union membership rate — the share of wage and salary workers who were members of unions — was 10.1% last year, falling below the pre-pandemic level of 10.3% in 2019, the BLS reported on Thursday. In 1983, the first year for which comparable data are available, the membership rate was 20.1%. The numbers show that recent high-profile efforts to unionize employees at companies like Starbucks and Amazon.com haven’t reached far into the labor force, while President Joe Biden’s commitment to supporting unions hasn’t reversed their long-term decline.
US workers have been winning pay raises because of a tight jobs market, which has left employers struggling to hire.
