Data for 2007 on Los Angeles, California, and the United States
Over the past twelve years, the nation’s unionization rate – the percentage of all employed wage and salary workers who are union members – has continued its relentless decline. In both the Los Angeles metropolitan area and in California, however, the unionization rate has held steady over this period, and it has even edged upward in some years, as Figure 1 shows. The rate in 2007 was 15.3% in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and 16.5% in California – in both cases well above the national average of 12.2%.
