  • In 2014, Black workers belonged to unions at a higher rate than whites, Asians, and Latinos.

  • Public sector workers had 35.7 percent union membership, more than five times higher than that of private-sector workers (6.6 percent).

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released their annual survey of the United States’ unionized workforce. Here are the key findings:

  • In 2014, Black workers belonged to unions at a higher rate than whites, Asians, and Latinos.

  • Public sector workers had 35.7 percent union membership, more than five times higher than that of private-sector workers (6.6 percent).

  • New York had the largest unionized workforce at almost 25 percent, while North Carolina (once again) had the lowest rate below two percent.

  • Men had slightly higher union membership than women — 11.7 and 10.5 percent respectively.

Weekly earnings for non-unionized workers ($763) were almost 25 percent less than unionized workers ($970), but for minorities, the numbers dipped a little below the averages on both ends. In our infographics below, we explore the actual incomes for unionized Latinos.
