Administrator political contributions from Pennsylvania

How Administrator and Pennsylvania meet in the extract

The Pennsylvania × Administrator join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $996,794 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation ADMINISTRATOR and donor state PA at the same time. 5,726 is the matching line count. 235 is the matching donor-key count. $27,323,501 is what remains when the state filter is lifted for the same occupation string.

Dividing $996,794 by 5,726 yields about $174 per contribution. Dividing by 235 yields about $4,242 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 24.4 (5,726 ÷ 235). Those ratios describe this string in Pennsylvania, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

Occupation is not a license check. ADMINISTRATOR is a generic title. School, hospital, and systems administrators who typed a longer string sit in other rows. Setting is unpublished. Independent expenditures and USAspending tables do not feed $996,794. Source: FEC.gov.

How FEC stores Administrator as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged ADMINISTRATOR, summing to $27,323,501 across harvested states, of which $996,794 is the Pennsylvania cell. What it excludes: other occupation strings, unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee filings that are not individual contribution aggregates.

Mean about $4,242 per donor in Pennsylvania should be quoted with both inputs ($996,794 and 235). Dropping 235 turns the mean into an unsourced claim. ADMINISTRATOR is a generic title. School, hospital, and systems administrators who typed a longer string sit in other rows. Setting is unpublished.

How PA sits on the itemized record

The address field that produced PA is whatever the filer or the committee keyed. It is not a geocode of a workplace. A Administrator filer who works in one state and lives in Pennsylvania still counts here if the contribution listed PA. The packet does not publish a workplace state.

4.1% of national Administrator donors (235 of 5,670) and 4.0% of national Administrator contributions (5,726 of 143,643) sit in this cell. Those shares can diverge from the 3.6% dollar share. Quote each share with its numerator and denominator.

Per-gift and per-donor dollars in Pennsylvania

About $174 per contribution is $996,794 divided by 5,726. About $4,242 per donor is $996,794 divided by 235. About 24.4 gifts per donor is 5,726 divided by 235. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

Nationwide means for the same string are about $190 per gift and $4,819 per donor. Comparing Pennsylvania to those national means is still only arithmetic on packet facts. It is not a cost-of-living adjustment and not a ranking of civic intensity.

Keep the two dollar columns labeled

Never write that Administrator gave $27,323,501 in Pennsylvania. $27,323,501 is the national occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only geography is Pennsylvania unless 3.6% is 100%, which it is not here. $996,794 is the Pennsylvania cell. The two columns are labeled stateTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

3.6% is the only legitimate bridge between the columns. It is a quotient, not a second source. Independent expenditures still sit outside both columns. Label every dollar figure when you reuse it.

Itemized coverage and what stays outside

Itemized coverage means receipts that met the FEC itemization threshold and carried this occupation string. $996,794 is that subset for Pennsylvania. It is not total political spending by people who hold similar jobs, and it is not total Pennsylvania receipts.

ADMINISTRATOR is a generic title. School, hospital, and systems administrators who typed a longer string sit in other rows. Setting is unpublished. Keep Administrator and Pennsylvania in the same sentence as $996,794. Dropping either noun misstates the denominator.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Administrator, donor state Pennsylvania (PA), $996,794 itemized, 5,726 contributions, 235 donors, 3.6% of $27,323,501. ADMINISTRATOR is a generic title. School, hospital, and systems administrators who typed a longer string sit in other rows. Setting is unpublished. Office Administrator, School Administrator, Hospital Administrator, and Admin stay on other occupation pages. The Pennsylvania campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $996,794: treat it as payroll, treat 235 as a workforce census, treat 3.6% as a share of Pennsylvania statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $174 per contribution and $4,242 per donor remain attached to 5,726 and 235. About 24.4 lines per donor remains 5,726 divided by 235.
