Decline of unionized workforce Reduction of unionized workers 1983 20.1% 17.7 million down to 2009 12.3% 15.3 million Growth of SEIU 625,000 in 1980 to 2.2 million today The union membership rate in 2009 was 12.3 percent, essentially unchanged from 12.4 percent a year earlier, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions declined by 771,000 to 15.3 million, largely reflecting the overall drop in employment due to the recession. In 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was 20.1 percent, and there were 17.7 million union workers.

Negative public opinion of unions August 2010 More Americans want unions to have less influence than more. 52% of Americans say they approve of labor unions, the second lowest approval rating in Gallup's 70-year history of this trend. Gallup finds significantly more Americans saying they want labor unions to have less (40%) rather than more (29%) influence. August 12, 2010 U.S. Approval of Labor Unions Remains Near Record Low More Americans want unions to have less influence than more by Jeffrey M. Jones PRINCETON, NJ -- A slim majority of 52% of Americans say they approve of labor unions, the second lowest approval rating in Gallup's 70-year history of this trend, behind only last year's 48%. Gallup finds significantly more Americans saying they want labor unions to have less (40%) rather than more (29%) influence than they have today. Twenty-seven percent say their influence should stay about the same. Prior to last year, Americans were about equally divided in saying they wanted labor unions to have more versus less influence, or showed a tendency toward wanting unions to have more influence. Why? Because fewer people are in unions—and people not in unions see unions as helping only them.

Attitudes toward government Guess who said this? The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away. The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'

Attacks on government and public employees result in… – greater difficulty to raise revenue. – a bigger gap between revenue and the cost of providing public services. – public employee pensions blamed for deficits.

Projected population changes (will be updated again next year after new census figures are released) Baby Boomers Will Swell Over–65 Population. Baby boomers born immediately after the end of World War II began to reach the age of 65 earlier this year. As this huge population cohort continues to reach this age, this group will swell in the coming years. We project the over–65 population generally will grow over 4 percent per year throughout our forecast period. Modest Growth for K–12 and College–Age Population Groups. Our forecast assumes the K–12 population grows by 0.2 percent or less through 2013–14 before increasing slightly more rapidly. The 18–24 college age group is projected to increase very modestly through 2013 before beginning to decline thereafter. During the forecast period, this college–aged group largely consists of the offspring of the relatively small “Generation X”—those born in the two decades after the baby boom.
