Laborer political contributions from New Jersey

LABORER crossed with New Jersey

Occupation LABORER plus contributor state New Jersey equals $3,948,993. That is about 34% of $11,579,166 nationally. New Jersey’s 124,390 contributions are about 45% of 276,402. Its 2,290 donors are about 39% of 5,912. Contribution share leads dollar share: New Jersey is the high-volume cell of this occupation string, with many small itemized gifts.

Average itemized gift in the New Jersey join is about $32 ($3,948,993 / 124,390). Pennsylvania’s LABORER join on the same $11,579,166 total has a higher average and a lower receipt share. The two pages are parallel filters, not a ranking of labor states, and they are not added together here.

LABORER nationwide

Five thousand nine hundred twelve donors used LABORER on itemized receipts totaling $11,579,166 across 276,402 gifts. Contribution count is extreme relative to dollars, which is the signature of small repeat itemization. New Jersey’s 124,390 receipts are a large fraction of that already receipt-heavy series.

Construction worker, union member, and trade-specific titles are not merged in. The occupations index keeps those strings apart. This join is the word LABORER only, as typed on FEC individual receipts.

Two thousand two hundred ninety New Jersey donors

Two thousand two hundred ninety New Jersey donors produced 124,390 LABORER-tagged contributions totaling $3,948,993. Receipts per donor are very high. The New Jersey campaign-finance hub places this title beside managing director and other NJ occupations so a trades word is sized against the rest of the state’s itemized giving.

The string does not identify a union, a contractor, or a job site. Contributor state is the address on the receipt. A New Jersey laborer working in New York still appears here if the receipt lists NJ.

MANAGING DIRECTOR in New Jersey is the executive counterpart on the same state hub. Do not average them into a state personality. Union PACs remain excluded. Job sites in New York with NJ addresses remain included. The filter is occupation LABORER and contributor state NJ.

What the volume does not mean

A 45% share of occupation contributions is not a finding that New Jersey workers give more in a civic sense. It is a finding that this occupation string’s receipts are concentrated in NJ addresses, at a low average itemized amount. The figures are federal individual contributions, not union PAC spending and not New Jersey state campaign filings.

The receipt-heavy LABORER cell

New Jersey LABORER at $3,948,993 from 2,290 donors and 124,390 gifts is about 34% of occupation dollars and about 45% of occupation contributions on $11,579,166 nationally. Average gift about $32. Pennsylvania’s LABORER join has fewer receipts (95,174) and a higher average (about $48) and a higher dollar share (about 40%). NJ is where this string’s itemized volume piles up.

One hundred twenty-four thousand three hundred ninety contributions from 2,290 people is extreme repeat itemization. That can reflect small recurring gifts across many reports. It is not a count of 124,390 unique laborers. Donor count (2,290 of 5,912 nationally, about 39%) is the people-side number to keep beside the receipt pile.

Two thousand two hundred ninety New Jersey donors, 124,390 gifts, $3,948,993, about 34% of $11,579,166 and about 45% of 276,402 contributions. Average gift about $32. That receipt pile is the join’s distinctive fact. Pennsylvania’s LABORER cell is the dollar-heavier neighbor. Unique people are 2,290, not 124,390. Union PACs are another filing stream. Job sites may be out of state.

Questions

How much have New Jersey laborer donors given in FEC filings?

Donors listing occupation LABORER with a New Jersey address reported $3,948,993 in itemized individual contributions, from 2,290 donors and 124,390 receipts. That is about 34% of the $11,579,166 recorded nationally under LABORER and about 45% of its 276,402 contributions. The join is not a union membership count.

Why does New Jersey have so many Laborer contributions?

New Jersey has 124,390 of 276,402 LABORER contributions (about 45%) and $3,948,993 of $11,579,166 (about 34%). Average itemized gift in the join is about $32. High receipt counts with small average size produce a contribution share larger than the dollar share. Repeat giving by 2,290 donors also inflates contribution counts.

Is this combined with Pennsylvania laborer totals?

No. Each tie page is one state filter. New Jersey is $3,948,993 from 2,290 donors; the national occupation is $11,579,166 from 5,912 donors. Pennsylvania has a separate LABORER join. Adding state pages would double-count if a researcher also used the national total.

Did these contributions go to New Jersey candidates?

The filter is donor state plus occupation, not recipient. A New Jersey-addressed LABORER can give to any FEC-registered committee. Mapping the $3,948,993 from 2,290 donors and 124,390 gifts to races requires committee-level receipts.
