IRLE Report on Union Membership
Data for 2011 on Los Angeles, California, and the United States
While the recession officially ended over two years ago, the jobs crisis that began with the recession and has yet to be resolved, continues to take a toll on unionization rates. Despite a stemming of the tide of job losses in the private sector, decreases in the unionization rate nationally and in California continue, while the unionization rate for the Los Angeles region remained essentially flat over the past year. Although it decreased to 16.9% in 2010-2011, the unionization rate in California remains around its average for the past decade. However, at 11.8%, the unionization rate in the U.S. is at an historic low.
