Accountant and California as a high-row professional join

Occupation ACCOUNTANT and donor state CA together sum to $6,414,855, 41,502 contributions, and 1,229 donors. The occupation hub is $37,845,841, 203,733 contributions, and 8,434 donors. California’s share of dollars is 16.9%; of contributions, 20.4% (41,502 of 203,733); of donors, 14.6% (1,229 of 8,434).

1,229 California donors produced 41,502 contributions totaling $6,414,855. That is 16.9% of the $37,845,841 Accountant occupation total. The leftover $31,430,986 is Accountant-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California Accountant-coded donors produced 41,502 itemized rows totaling $6,414,855, about 34 rows per donor versus about 24 nationally. Keep CPA on its own California page. Adding those cells would invent a combined accounting total. The leftover $31,430,986 is ACCOUNTANT in every other state.

ACCOUNTANT as a common occupation string

ACCOUNTANT is a common string. CPA, BOOKKEEPER, and AUDITOR, if used, sit in other hubs. CPA is a separate credential-string hub. Eight thousand four hundred thirty-four donors produced 203,733 contributions totaling $37,845,841 — among the more contribution-heavy occupation buckets in this slice.

California’s 41,502 contributions are 20.4% of national Accountant rows; 1,229 donors are 14.6%; dollars are 16.9%. Row share sits above dollar share. Repeat itemization in the California cell explains that gap.

One thousand two hundred twenty-nine California Accountant donors

1,229 California donors produced 41,502 contributions totaling $6,414,855. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only ACCOUNTANT. CPA, BOOKKEEPER, and AUDITOR are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Accountant donations without California still holds the remainder of the $37,845,841 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Seventeen percent of a contribution-heavy accounting label

This page does not measure a California Board of Accountancy license extract, and it does not claim that Accountant-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

ACCOUNTANT fragments against CPA, BOOKKEEPER, and AUDITOR. Those strings, if used, never enter the $37,845,841 or the $6,414,855. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

ACCOUNTANT versus CPA as separate strings

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Accountant occupation total and the difference is $31,430,986 still coded Accountant in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Accountant donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

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 all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Accountant national total, drops a key.

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.
