What does it look like now?
Still pretty much 10% š¢
Thatās not the whole story; raw number of members has ticked up but since unemployment is real low now and the rise is pretty slight, the percent of membership is still dropping. Iād love to be able to tell you itās different, but that is the reality.
So many poor and working class Americans will see this and think, "Progress!"
This is why wages are failing to keep up with inflation now for decades. Breaking up the labour unions has been an enormous accelerator for the capitol owning classes.
