LabourStart in Numbers

August is supposed to be a quiet month.  In Europe and elsewhere, schools are closed, trade union headquarters shut down, people go off on vacation.  I was even away for the first two weeks of the month.  And still LabourStart grew — with big gains for our mailing lists, increased traffic to the website, and the very rapid growth over just two weeks of the new version of UnionBook.

Here are the totals with the changes since the end of July in brackets:

  • Mailing lists – subscribers: 68,857 [+1,023]
  • LabourStart’s English language mailing list: 57,950 [+167]
  • Absolute unique visitors according to Google: 30,153 [+2,055]
  • UnionBook – members: 4,959 [+180]
  • UnionBook 2.0 – members: 1,192 [+1,192]
  • Facebook – members of LabourStart group: 3,612 [+100]
  • Twitter – followers: 2,414 [+125]
  • Correspondents: 803 [+6]
  • Union group on Flickr: 564 [+2]
  • LinkedIn – members of LabourStart group: 199 [+9]

Some highlights from the mailing lists — the other large groups are:

  • Norwegian 2,716 [+17]
  • French 2,162 [+54]
  • Spanish 1,209  [+21]
  • German 798 [+3]
  • Italian 518 [+3]
  • Russian 441 [+12]
  • Turkish 435 [+60]
  • Polish 304 [+1]
