The largest numbers of members live in California (2.4 million) and New York (2.1 million). Just over 43% (7.9 million) of the 18.3 million union members in the U.S. live in six states (California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and New Jersey), though these states account for slightly less than one-third of wage and salary employment nationally.
