Laborer political contributions from New York

Laborer and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation LABORER and donor state NY produce $2,074,335, 38,589 contributions, and 1,124 donors. The occupation hub is $11,579,166, 276,402 contributions, and 5,912 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 17.9%; contribution share about 14.0% (38,589 of 276,402); donor share about 19.0% (1,124 of 5,912). One thousand one hundred twenty-four New York donors are about 19.0% of 5,912 national donors; 38,589 contributions are about 14.0% of 276,402 national rows; dollars are about 17.9% of $11,579,166.

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

1,124 New York donors produced 38,589 contributions, about 34.3 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 New York cell is about $54, against about $42 nationwide. New York’s about 17.9% dollar share from 38,589 rows is a high-repeat slice of a 276,402-row occupation: many itemized rows, not a few large checks.

LABORER as a job-title string

LABORER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a union card, a prevailing-wage job, or a trade. The word on the form is the filter. 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 New York (NY). Five thousand nine hundred twelve national donors make LABORER a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York as the Laborer address stamp

1,124 New York donors produced 38,589 contributions totaling $2,074,335. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York worksite, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,074,335.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only LABORER. The Laborer occupation hub without New York still holds about 82.1% of the $11,579,166. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. LABORER is only this filter.

What the Laborer–New York join is not

This page does not count union members, merge Construction dollars, 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 even when filers meant a building-trades job.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. LABORER is not a local-union roster. Donor state NY 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 New York 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 ($9,504,831) 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 1,124 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 38,589 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,074,335 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the LABORER national total, drops a key. One thousand one hundred twenty-four donors producing 38,589 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,074,335 headline.

Laborer donations holds the $11,579,166 national occupation total. New York 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. New York Associate and New York VP cells in this slice are other occupation strings with far fewer rows.
