In the Bureau of Labor Statistics report there were some interesting Washington State specific numbers too.

The report states that "All states in the Middle Atlantic and Pacific divisions reported union membership rates above the national average" with northeastern states pulling down good numbers too. (Which confirms the theory that labor is pretty much just a regional power these days, contrary to the "big labor" narrative FOX "News" likes to tote.)

Washington State, meanwhile, is one of the only four states with unionization rates about 20 percent (20.2 to be exact), along with New York with 25.2 percent, Hawaii with 23.5 percent and Alaska (!) with 22.3 percent. Any theories as to why that might be?
