What percentage of Americans are represented by a union?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

Approximately 11.6% of Americans are represented by a union as of 2021. While this is an increase of 7.4% from 2020, when union membership was only 10.8%, it still marks a low point in U.S. history.

For example, during peak union membership in 1945, at least 33.4% of the total U.S. workforce were union members. That means that in less than 100 years, union membership in the U.S. has decreased by over 65%.
