State employees, farmers and trade unionist membership

Democracy 4 needs some membership adjustments. There is a problem with the number of state employees, unionists and farmers in the game.

USA has 14.6 million trade unionist and in Democracy 4 it has more than 74 millions.

In 2019, 22.2 million full and part-time jobs were related to the agricultural and food sectors (10.9 percent of total U.S. employment). Direct on-farm employment accounted for about 2.6 million of these jobs, or 1.3 percent of U.S. employment. 100 million in Democracy 4 :dizzy_face:

USA has around 22 million state employees and in Democracy 4 it has more than 95 millions.
