Does anyone know if union membership has become more or less geographically concentrated in recent decades? With the decline of railroad and mining unions, it would seem likely that unions would have lost greater ground in the South and West. (For example, West Virginia now only has a union membership rate around the national average). On the other hand, the UAW and Steelworkers have taken a big hit, too, and they've always been concentrated in union heartland states like Michigan and Pennsylvania.

I believe that all USA private industry unions are in decline. The only unions experiencing growth are government workers.
