> 1973-94, and detailed area, occupation, and industry tables
> for 1984, 1989, and 1994.  Among the series included are
> state and metropolitan area statistics on union membership
> and coverage (separately for all workers, private sector,
> public sector, and manufacturing), as well as union data for
> detailed industries and occupations.  Earnings figures are
> provided for union and nonunion workers by occupation and
> geographic area.  The DATA BOOK is intended as a resource for
> researchers, labor unions, management consultants, government
> agencies, and policy analysts.
