Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Union membership is traditionally strong in the public sector and industries with a high concentration of unionized workers, such as manufacturing. However, as the economy shifts towards service-based and knowledge-based industries, there has been a decline in union membership. The private sector, in particular, has seen growth in tertiary employment (i.e. jobs in finance, technology, healthcare, etc.), which tend to have lower rates of unionization compared to more traditional blue-collar industries. Therefore, it is likely that union membership will fall as growth in tertiary employment occurs in the private sector.
