Union Membership, Coverage, and Earnings from the CPS
Union data compilations from the 2023 CPS completed January 16, 2024

 

The Union Membership and Coverage Database, available at www.unionstats.com, is an Internet data resource providing private and public sector labor union membership, coverage, and density estimates compiled from the monthly household Current Population Survey (CPS) using BLS methods.  Economy-wide estimates are provided beginning in 1973; estimates by state, detailed industry, and detailed occupation begin in 1983; and estimates by metropolitan area begin in 1986.  The Database, constructed by Barry Hirsch (Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, Georgia State University), David Macpherson (Department of Economics, Trinity University), and William Even (Department of Economics, Miami  University),was created in 2002 and is updated annually.

 Note: CPS sample sizes are very small for some cells.  Use such estimates cautiously.
