A study from the Center for American Progress links the slide of middle class incomes to the decline in union membership. Between 1967 and 2012, union membership fell from 28.3 percent of all workers to 11.3 percent in all 50 states.
The decline in union membership is refl ected in the decline in the share of the nation’s income going to the middle 60 percent of households, which fell from 52.3 percent to 45.7 percent over the same time period.
