Bureau of Labor Statistics: 2004 Unionization Numbers
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that private sector union membership was at 7.9% in 2004, about half of its rate in 1983. Public sector unions have fared somewhat better, with 36% of government workers belonging to a union. From the press release:
In 2004, full-time wage and salary workers who were union members had
median usual weekly earnings of $781, compared with a median of $612 for
wage and salary workers who were not represented by unions.
