Union statistical data

A treasure trove of statistical data about union density on a national and metropolitan area basis can be found at http://www.unionstats.com/. For example, in 2008, 4.4% of workers in the New Orleans Metropolitan area were members of a union, and 6.3% were covered by a collective bargaining agreement. In the private sector alone the figures are 2.1% members and 2.8% are covered. Public sector membership was 19.6% and covered by CBA stood at 29.6%.
