Laborer political money in the 2012 FEC cycle

The occupation–cycle join for LABORER

$134,690 is the overlap of occupation Laborer and cycle 2012 on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. 335 contributions and 241 donors produced that sum. The occupation-side total $11,579,166 is every harvested cycle for LABORER, not a 2012-only figure restated. 335 receipts from 241 donors produced $134,690 in 2012, 1.2% of $11,579,166. About 1.4 lines per donor is a high-identity, lower-repeat cell compared with officer titles in this slice.

This page is not a restatement of either hub. The occupation hub drops the year. The cycle hub drops the title. The join keeps both. Construction laborer, general laborer, union laborer, and labor are other occupation keys if stored separately.

Lifetime $11,579,166 versus the 2012 cell

Subtract $134,690 from $11,579,166 and $11,444,476 remains. That remainder lives on the occupation hub. This page isolates 2012 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

Laborer is self-reported trade occupation. $11,579,166 is not a professional-association budget. $134,690 is not a PAC disbursement.

What 335 receipts are not

335 is a Schedule A line count. It is not 241 one-time gifts. About 1.4 lines per donor is consistent with repeat gifts inside the same two-year window.

People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $134,690. Construction laborer, general laborer, union laborer, and labor are those nearby spellings when stored separately.

Correlation is not causation

A shared year and a shared occupation word are not a causal chain. $134,690 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that people listed as Laborer directed an election, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.

All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record.

Lifetime Laborer storage is $11,579,166. Subtract the 2012 cell and $11,444,476 remains. That remainder is 98.8% of the grouping. 1.2% is the 2012 share.

Contributor identities (241) are not a headcount of a profession. Repeat itemized gifts explain 335 lines from fewer identities. About 1.4 lines per donor is the mean on this packet.

Keeping Laborer 2012 distinct from the hubs

Laborer without 2012 is $11,579,166. 2012 without Laborer is the year hub. Laborer with 2012 is $134,690. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: Laborer donations, 2012 election cycle, All occupations, All FEC ties. Anchors stay as supplied in the packet.

Open the 2012 election cycle to see every grouping that year. This file does not copy that list. Laborer remains one cell: $134,690, 335 contributions, 241 donors.

Federal award files can reuse famous names. Those files are not FEC itemized individual contributions. This join does not claim that $134,690 funded contracts or grants.

All occupations and All FEC ties

All occupations is the index of occupation hubs. All FEC ties is the index of two-dimension pages. Neither index adds dollars into $134,690. Use them to move, not to sum.

Laborer donations remains the occupation-side parent. The 2012 election cycle remains the year-side parent. This /ties/ path is the join explanation.

Construction laborer, general laborer, union laborer, and labor sit on other occupation pages if those words were typed. LABORER is the only occupation key used here.

The occupation string LABORER is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class or a NAICS code. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Cycle 2012 is a two-year FEC tag. Itemized receipts from both years of that window sit in $134,690 if they carried this occupation string.

Unique donors in this packet number 241. This file does not publish names for those keys. Repeat gifts explain why contributions (335) exceed donor keys.

Unitemized gifts never enter $134,690. Independent expenditures, committee transfers, and USAspending awards are other tables and other datasets.

Cite both sides of the join whenever the dollars are quoted: occupation LABORER and cycle 2012, then $134,690, source FEC.gov.

All occupations lists sibling titles without summing them into this cell. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Use those indexes to move, not to add dollar figures.

If a later harvest revises the occupation total $11,579,166 or the cycle cell $134,690, the live hubs and FEC.gov control. This JSON is a packet snapshot.

Questions

How much did Laborer-tagged donors give in 2012?

The join records $134,690 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Laborer in the 2012 FEC cycle, from 335 contributions and 241 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $11,579,166, so 2012 is 1.2% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

What fraction of Laborer dollars landed in 2012?

About 1.2%. $134,690 divided by $11,579,166 is the 2012 share for exact string LABORER. No national 2012 denominator is in the packet. The cell covers 335 contributions and 241 donors. Other years’ dollars are the $11,444,476 remainder. Occupation labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts.

Does this count every laborer who donated in 2012?

No. The 241 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to LABORER in 2012. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $134,690 on 335 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate. Construction laborer, general laborer, union laborer, and labor are other keys if stored separately.

Where are the live Laborer and 2012 tables?

Laborer donations carries the $11,579,166 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle hub places Laborer beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Laborer × 2012 intersection only.
