Laborer political contributions from Wisconsin

Laborer and Wisconsin as a small slice of a large occupation

Occupation LABORER and donor state WI produce $42,188, 408 contributions, and 17 donors. The occupation hub is $11,579,166, 276,402 contributions, and 5,912 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (0.4%, 0.1%, 0.3%). Wisconsin tracks the national Laborer mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Wisconsin Laborer is a small-dollar slice of a high-volume national occupation bucket.

Laborer is a one-word trade stamp as typed, not a Construction Laborer recode. Nearby strings — CONSTRUCTION LABORER, CONSTRUCTION, UNION LABORER, and WORKER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $42,188 or $11,579,166. Do not invent contractor names. Plumber in Wisconsin is a different occupation string; do not add those two Wisconsin cells. The national LABORER bucket is far larger than this state slice.

Seventeen Wisconsin donors produced 408 contributions, about 24.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 46.8 rows per donor nationally (276,402 contributions from 5,912 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Wisconsin cell are about $2,482, versus about $1,959 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

LABORER versus Construction Laborer and Worker

LABORER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a union card, a named contractor, or a Wisconsin workplace. The national grouping is 5,912 donors, 276,402 contributions, and $11,579,166.

276,402 contributions from 5,912 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Wisconsin’s 408 contributions from 17 donors is the WI-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Wisconsin.

Seventeen Wisconsin donors on a small-dollar cell

Seventeen Wisconsin donors produced 408 contributions totaling $42,188. Donor state WI is the address on the record, not proof of a Wisconsin professional license, and not a limit to Wisconsin candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Wisconsin campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to WI. This join is only LABORER. Subtract $42,188 from $11,579,166 and $11,536,978 remains coded Laborer in every other state combined (275,994 contributions, 5,895 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

A thin state share of a high-volume occupation

This page does not measure laborer output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Laborer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Wisconsin union-membership extract, not a named-contractor roster, and not a BLS occupation census.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state WI is not recipient geography.

Labor strings that remain unmerged

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $42,188, 408 contributions, and 17 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Wisconsin dollars, or only the Laborer national total, drops a key.

Laborer donations holds the $11,579,166 national occupation total. Wisconsin 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. CONSTRUCTION LABORER, CONSTRUCTION, UNION LABORER, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. Do not invent contractor names. Plumber in Wisconsin is a different occupation string; do not add those two Wisconsin cells. The national LABORER bucket is far larger than this state slice.
