Laborer political contributions from Michigan

Laborer and Michigan as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation LABORER and donor state MI produce $68,255, 1,183 contributions, and 19 donors. The occupation hub is $11,579,166, 276,402 contributions, and 5,912 donors. Michigan’s dollar share is about 0.6%; contribution share about 0.4% (1,183 of 276,402); donor share about 0.3% (19 of 5,912). Nineteen Michigan donors are about 0.3% of 5,912 national donors; 1,183 contributions are about 0.4% of 276,402 national rows; dollars are about 0.6% of $11,579,166.

CONSTRUCTION WORKER, UNION MEMBER, and LABOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Laborer total. Do not stack LABORER with CONSTRUCTION WORKER or LABOR into a single Michigan professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

19 Michigan donors produced 1,183 contributions, about 62.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 46.8 rows per donor nationally (276,402 contributions from 5,912 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Michigan cell is about $58, against about $42 nationwide. Michigan’s 1,183 rows from 19 people is a high-repeat slice of a 276,402-row occupation, not a large-dollar cell.

LABORER as a one-word workplace string

LABORER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a union card, a trade, or an employer. The $11,579,166 national total is LABORER only. 5,912 donors produced 276,402 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 276,402 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Michigan (MI). Five thousand nine hundred twelve national donors and 276,402 contributions make LABORER a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MI.

Michigan on the state side

19 Michigan donors produced 1,183 contributions totaling $68,255. Donor state MI is the address on the record, not proof of a Michigan license, and not a limit to Michigan candidates. MI is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Michigan jobsite, and not a map of which campaigns received the $68,255.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only LABORER. The Laborer occupation hub without Michigan still holds about 99.4% of the $11,579,166. Michigan’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MI. LABORER is only this filter.

What the Laborer join is not

This page does not count union members, rank trades, or claim that Laborer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. LABORER is not CONSTRUCTION WORKER even when filers meant a jobsite role.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. LABORER is not a union-local extract. Donor state MI is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Local numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Laborer filter

Subtract the Michigan dollars on this page from the national LABORER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded LABORER in every other state combined. That remainder ($11,510,911) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 19 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 1,183 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $68,255 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Michigan dollars, or only the LABORER national total, drops a key. Nineteen donors producing 1,183 contributions totaling $68,255 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Laborer donations holds the $11,579,166 national occupation total. Michigan campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. The Michigan State Senator tie is a different occupation join on the same state code.
