"The Union Density Rate" (...)

How could the average Joe even start to guess what this could ever mean ?
- Yeah, weird way to describe it. Why not just say percentage of workers in a union?
  
  Exactly ! (...and thanks for its meaning).
  The funniest part is the title also says : "You Read That Right" ...well, no ! ...I didn't since it was unreadable for me :-O
  
  Because "union density" is shorter. Just as "GDP" is shorter than "sum of the income of everyone in a country".
- It's also just their opinion. The results aren't out yet.
- If only that average Joe had access to some type of information network on which to look it up, if only. But alas...
