The Jewish Labor Committee is a United States organisation. Official websites at http://jewishlabor.org/ and http://www.jewishlaborcommittee.org/ did not return a usable official page on 11 November 2026, when live requests failed with Transport Layer Security errors, an expired certificate, or HTTP 500 responses. Official wording below is taken from a Wayback Machine capture of the official homepage dated 5 November 2026. The official homepage uses the heading Jewish Labor Committee and the short form JLC, and states the official tagline: “The Jewish voice in the labor movement, and the voice of the labor movement in the Jewish community.” Official Internal Revenue Service records list the organisation as Jewish Labor Committee. The official name-forms are stated as the sources give them and are not collapsed. The short form JLC is not created as a Powerbase title in this draft, because the existing live page JLC is already a redirect to Jewish Leadership Council.

The same official homepage states: “While we are a secular organization, we'd like to share some prayers/poems concerning workers' rights that might resonate as we approach Labor Day.” An official-site article dated 14 August 2026, by Arieh Lebowitz and published on the official homepage, states that in late 1934, “the Jewish Labor Committee (JLC), founded earlier in the year, learned about plans to hold the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.” The official 1934 founding wording is stated as the official-site article gives it and is not collapsed with the official Internal Revenue Service tax-exemption date recorded below. An official event listing on the same homepage names Stuart Appelbaum as President, Jewish Labor Committee.

Official Internal Revenue Service records compiled by ProPublica list the organisation as Jewish Labor Committee, of New York, New York, with employer identification number 13-1675650, a tax exemption issued in September 1948, and designation as a 501(c)(3) organisation in the category Employment, Job-Related / Labor Unions, Organizations (NTEE J40Z). The official legal name-form and the September 1948 tax-exemption date are stated as the compilation gives them and are not collapsed with the official 1934 founding wording recorded above. A differently named search hit, Philadelphia Jewish Labor Committee, EIN 47-2550903, is not treated as the same organisation.

For the fiscal year ending December 2024, filed on 17 November 2025, the official Form 990 extract records revenue of $484,416, expenses of $365,492, contributions of $513,704, total assets of $593,357, total liabilities of $13,234 and net assets of $580,123, and records executive compensation of $75,001. The same extract names Arieh Lebowitz as Executive Director, with compensation of $75,000, and Stuart Appelbaum as President, with compensation of $0. Those official figures, including the official executive compensation total and the official Executive Director compensation figure, are stated as the extract gives them and are not collapsed. For the fiscal year ending December 2023, filed on 15 November 2024, the extract records revenue of $344,292, expenses of $320,737, contributions of $368,362, total assets of $471,953, total liabilities of $10,754 and net assets of $461,199, and names Arieh Lebowitz as Executive Director, with compensation of $75,000, and Stuart Appelbaum as President, with compensation of $0.
