Economic Report:

While national union membership was down slightly last year, New York State is still at the top when it comes to union membership. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly two million workers are represented by a union making it the second highest rate in the country. That amounts to nearly a quarter of workers in the state. California is at the top with 2.5 million in unions. Nationally the rate is 12.3 percent.
