These files contain data on public sector labor unions in 2011 (union density and coverage, membership, etc.), employment characteristics (unemployment rates, teachers’ average salaries, etc.) and state-level political contexts (party in power in each legislative branch, governor’s party, etc.). This data was used in QCA in Chapter 5 of my dissertation, as well as related publications. Data was collected from a variety of sources, including UnionStats, OpenStates, Ballotpedia, and individual state-level governmental and union websites.
Some data from interviews and archival research may be available in anonymized or aggregate form. Please contact me if you are interested in this data.
