Union membership has generally been in decline in the US for the last decade. In 2022 union membership was up slightly vs 2021 in absolute numbers, but as a percentage it was down by 0.3%.
Will the percentage of workers who are members of a labor union in the United States increase in 2023 compared to 2022?
Resolves based on data from https://data.bls.gov
The report for 2022 is here
1,000
3.00@Odoacre derp, I'm dumb.
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/union2.pdf 10.1% for 2022 and 10.0% for 2023
@Odoacre Can resolve:
The share of American workers who are members of a union hit a new low in 2023 β it's now 1 in 10 β though the total number of unionized employees rose slightly.

The Union Density Rate Likely Increased in 2023. You Read That Right.

His argument is the rate increased through NRLB elections and government hiring.
