While union membership has been on the decline nationwide since 2000, the agricultural industry has seen a recent increase. The industry has had low rates of union membership compared with averages across all industries. In 2000, around nine percent of workers were members of unions compared to 2.6 percent of agricultural workers. However, in 2023 only six percent of U.S. workers were union members compared with 2.2 percent of agricultural workers.
