The shares by state a month ago (left) and last week (right).
The share of Americans who owe a mortgage payment but express slight or no confidence was 14.5% in the week ending July 14, up from 12.8% a month prior.
10% of America's abt 155 million employees belong to a union.
+1 percentage point a year requires +1.55 million net members if employment flat.
In 2022, union membership rose 273K, 6X smaller.
Estimated +273K from @BLS_gov worker survey. Reflects net hiring by union employers, priv (+193K) + public (+80K) sector, & new organizing inside & outside NLRB.
Abt 52K private sector workers voted to newly unionize in 2022, eyeballing @KevinReuning's NLRB data. 30X smaller.
@BLS_gov@KevinReuning The AFL-CIO's strategy aims to organize 1 million workers over 10 yrs, +100K/yr pace.
That's either 37% of the 2022 pace if it includes all change or less than 2X 2022's pace if newly unionized only.
