Here's the relevant paragraph.
> In private industry, there is a different pattern
among workers in this occupational group: those represented
by unions earned an average of $32.95 per hour, while those
not represented by unions earned $35.70 per hour. The wage
advantage for nonunion workers in this occupational group
reflects the concentration of union workers in certain relatively
low-paying occupations in business and financial operations,
such as claims adjusters, accountants, and training specialists.
- zaksoup 8y agoThank for pointing this out. The 18% figure is from the global average and that analysis of the private industry number certainly suggests that as unions become more prevalent in higher-paying occupations the trend there will reverse.
- plainOldText 8y agoIndeed, but in the private industry there is also a different pattern in compensation, as in addition to a base salary, private employers offer bonuses and stock awards, situation which is not accounted for in the study, as far as I can tell [1]. Do unions also negotiate bonuses and stock awards? I'm unfamiliar to how they operate. [1] https://www.bls.gov/ncs/ncbr0002.pdf https://www.bls.gov/ncs/ncbr0002.pdf
