WASHINGTON – The union membership rate of wage and salary workers was 11.1 percent in 2014, down from 20.1 percent in 1983, the U.S. Census bureau said this week.

The public-sector rate (35.7 percent) was more than five times higher than the private-sector rate (6.6 percent).

The bureau invited the public to find out more on Friday, March 27, 2015, at approximately 8:20 AM as Mike Horrigan, Associate Commissioner for Employment and Unemployment at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, discusses statistics about union membership in America on C-SPAN’s “America by the Numbers” segment. The program features information from the federal statistical system and highlights trends.
