David Hoskins The October 2008 volume of the Monthly Labor Review contains a very interesting article entitled, “Union Membership in 2007: A Visual Essay,” by James A. Walker. The article graphically illustrates union membership rates relative to many variables, such as by year, sector, age, gender, ethnicity, state, etc. It is a relatively short, but quite informative article. It is available on line at: http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2008/10/art3full.pdf  

Established in 1915, Monthly Labor Review is the principal journal of fact, analysis, and research from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an agency within the U.S. Department of Labor.
