Only in NJ could someone be a longshoreman AND an assemblyman.

NJ Legislature Senators and Assembly members serve as part-time govt officials. They are paid as such at around $49k/yr as of 2016- https://www.nj.com/politics/2016/04/how_pay_for_nj_lawmakers_compares_to_other_49_stat.html

Every Assembly-person I know serving in NJ has a full-time job. Don’t have stats but many are attorneys, but a few are of the working class. Google NJ state senator mattress delivery driver in SJ.

As a longshoreman? Most of the ones I am familiar with are decidedly more white collar than that.
