The
LABOR Paper has been serving union members and their families
in Central Illinois since 1896. Over the years, the paper has changed
format, areas of circulation and the types of union members it serves.
Today The
LABOR Paper’s circulation primarily consists of the
building trades unions. The paper is published twice per month and is
direct-mailed to our subscribers. The
LABOR Paper informs the members and their families
(approximately 20,000 readers) about pertinent issues which affect their
jobs, companies and workplace. PLUS, no paper would be complete without
local copy, lots of pictures and other articles of interest pertaining
to the daily lives of our readers.
The
LABOR Paper has become a regional newspaper, circulating
statewide. The paper is subscribed to by union members across a wide
band of Central Illinois, the main area of circulation. Although the
“hub” is still the Peoria region, the main boundaries are
Springfield, Decatur, Bloomington, LaSalle-Peru, Galesburg, Quincy, and
Jacksonville. Using zip codes, we find our readers generally live in the
better suburbs and nicer neighborhoods of the cities. Also, we have
large number of readers living in almost every small town and/or rural
residence within the radius. Depending upon the type of goods or
services needed, our readers choose a larger city to visit.
As
you may be aware, our subscribers earn a better than average income,
many of them with a company offering stable employment. A large number
of spouses also work in a wide variety of jobs including positions such
as teachers, lawyers, nurses and even small business owners. This group
of people generally has an income desirable to retailers and service
industry.
We
also cover a wide variety of topics of special interest to our readers
including: Health and Wellness, a
monthly column; Special sections on hunting, fishing, and financial; and
our Labor Day and Christmas special editions.
For
further information, please contact our office between the hours of 8
a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. We will be happy to be of
service to you and your company.
