Americans favor labor unions over big business now more than ever

In contrast, recent trends do differ by education group. Until 2012, Americans with the most formal education (Bachelor+) were the most pro-business. By 2024, they became the most pro-union. On the other hand, Americans with the least formal education (less than high school) were historically among the most pro-union but recently became the least pro-union. High school graduates, some college, and bachelor-plus all expressed record-high pro-union sentiment in 2024. Even those without a high school degree remained near their record high.
