In 2024, unionized and non-unionized Asian workers had the highest median weekly earnings in the United States at 1,533 and 1,445 U.S. dollars respectively. While the wages of other unionized racial and ethnic minorities are around 200 dollars per week higher than their non-unionized counterparts, racial wage inequalities appear to persist across union membership. Unionized white workers for example, earn a median weekly income of 1,375 U.S. dollars, while unionized Black workers earn around an average of 1,130 U.S. dollars per week.
