Book excerpt: Annotation Between 1977 and 1997, the union wage premium declined for less- educated workers, while it rose for better-educated union workers. In this study, Baldwin (professor emeritus, economics, University of Wisconsin-Madison) investigates the role of changes in US imports and exports and finds that increased global trade has contributed to the decline in unionization among workers with less education.
