The Top 10 Most Unionized Industries As we can see in the table below, roughly a third of public sector jobs are unionized, led by the local government sector by a wide margin: When it comes to the private sector, utilities and transportation have the highest union membership rates, both providing essential services in highly-regulated industries.
Overall, 14.4 million workers in America are unionized, with the country ranking 27th across 31 OECD countries by union density based on the most recent figures.
We can see that unionization rates in the film industry also falls above the national average, at 12.1%. Last year, the historic Writers Guild of Americas strike led to key pay negotiations, minimum staffing requirements, and new guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence as technological advancement reshapes the entertainment industry.
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, shows the industries with the highest union membership rates in America, based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
For instance, the Utility Workers Union of America represents 45,000 members across the country, including employees at major firms such as Exelon, Duke Energy, and Southern Company.
