The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics published a report on January 25, 2007 that found that union membership in the Construction Industry reached an all time low of 13% in 2006. The previous low was 13.1% in 2005. Will this trend continue?
As an interesting note, the report found that South Carolina and North Carolina posted the lowest union membership rates of 3.3% each. Read the report summary.
