Social Worker political contributions from Michigan

Social Worker and Michigan as a two-field FEC join

Occupation SOCIAL WORKER and donor state MI produce $599,060, 6,091 contributions, and 128 donors. The occupation hub is $16,549,179, 159,789 contributions, and 3,156 donors. Michigan’s dollar share is about 3.6%; contribution share about 3.8% (6,091 of 159,789); donor share about 4.1% (128 of 3,156). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Social Worker hub and not a restatement of all Michigan occupations.

CASEWORKER, SOCIAL WORK, and CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack SOCIAL WORKER with those strings into a single Michigan professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

128 Michigan donors produced 6,091 contributions, about 47.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 50.6 rows per donor nationally (159,789 contributions from 3,156 donors). Line volume in Michigan is the distinctive feature of this cell: 3.8% of national SOCIAL WORKER contributions against a 3.6% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Michigan cell is about $98, against about $104 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

SOCIAL WORKER on the occupation side

SOCIAL WORKER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $16,549,179 national total is SOCIAL WORKER only. 3,156 donors produced 159,789 contributions in that occupation bucket. SOCIAL WORKER is a human-services job title as typed on a contribution form, not a state social-work license roster or NASW membership extract. Nearby labels CASEWORKER, SOCIAL WORK, and CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 159,789 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Michigan (MI). 159,789 national contributions make SOCIAL WORKER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Michigan overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Michigan as the donor-state key

128 Michigan donors produced 6,091 contributions totaling $599,060. 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 a map of which campaigns received the $599,060. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from MI-coded donors.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only SOCIAL WORKER. The Social Worker occupation hub without Michigan still holds about 96.4% of the $16,549,179 (remainder $15,950,119). Michigan’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MI. SOCIAL WORKER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

What Social Worker plus Michigan does not prove

A 3.6% dollar share in Michigan does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 128 unique donors as a state social-work license roster or NASW membership extract. SOCIAL WORKER is not interchangeable with CASEWORKER, SOCIAL WORK, and CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER.

Quote $599,060, 6,091 contributions, and 128 donors for Social Worker in Michigan, against $16,549,179 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Social Worker and Michigan—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Citing the three Michigan Social Worker figures

A complete claim names Social Worker and Michigan (MI), then $599,060, 6,091 contributions, 128 donors, and 3.6% of $16,549,179, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Michigan: $15,950,119. Mean gift $98 is $599,060 divided by 6,091 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Michigan dollars on this page from the national SOCIAL WORKER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded SOCIAL WORKER in every other state combined. That remainder ($15,950,119) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 128 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.
