No figures but as a lifelong resident who has been both union and non union I would estimate between 3 anf 5 percent of the lost jobs are union.

For every union job lost you can count on between 5 to 10 non union jobs lost.

Yep. A beautiful state in most parts too. Unfortunately, too many folks vote Dem Socialist out of habit. All of the above is true of my home state as well, btw.

Thanks. I was just curious if the Michigan numbers in this current downturn in employment was any different than in the past. Your estimate also seems to be based on the somewhat recent historical trend, which is probably a good one. I'll see if I can find some new statistics.
