The share of workers who are part of a labor union was the lowest on record last year, even as organized labor made notable gains at Starbucks and other high-profile businesses.
The percentage of wage and salary workers who were members of unions dropped to 10.1% in 2022, down from 10.3% the year before, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Thursday.The total number of union workers actually grew by 273,000, but the percentage went down because the total number of workers rose by over 5 million. The nearly 300,000-member growth was the biggest annual uptick in 14 years.
Public-sector workers are far more likely to be union members today. One in three government workers were union members last year, compared to a mere 6% of private-sector workers.
