This is also why unions have suffered, the jobs of today are so much harder to unionize than a factory job of the 50's. It's a lot loving easier to find a new shelf-stocker than to find someone who can safely and quickly operate large machinery. I would also guess that we have seen an increase in the diversity of workers skills, in other words there's a lot bigger gap between a companies high performers and low performers when compared to many decades ago. This is most obvious in finance. Something like that would also lead to a decrease in union participation, which works best when everyone is of fairly equal skill levels.


Unskilled labor definitely had unions a hundred years ago. The issue today is more that jobs are becoming increasingly white collar and for whatever reason unions haven't caught on there.
