Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The increase in unionization rates for women is primarily due to the growth of unionization in the public sector, where women are overrepresented in the workforce. In the private sector, unionization rates have declined overall and are lower for women than men. While there has been some increase in unionization rates in the service sector, it is not enough to account for the gap between women and men. The manufacturing sector, meanwhile, has seen a decline in unionization rates overall.
