Broker and South Carolina as an underspecified-title join
31 South Carolina donors produced 690 contributions totaling $181,154. That is 1.6% of the $11,582,453 Broker occupation total. Correlation is not causation: occupation does not cause the gifts, and South Carolina as donor state does not cause recipient geography.
Rows per donor in the South Carolina cell average 22.3, versus about 13.5 nationally for BROKER. Repeat itemization can lift the contribution count without lifting unique donors. Unitemized gifts under the FEC itemization threshold never enter either total.
This relationship is a bookkeeping join on two fields from FEC.gov. It is not a FINRA registration extract, a real-estate license roll, or an insurance-producer census. BROKER is an underspecified string; South Carolina licenses are not joined here.
BROKER as a short occupation string
Filers typed BROKER. The FEC does not rewrite that text into a standard occupational taxonomy. BROKER is an underspecified string; South Carolina licenses are not joined here. Nationwide, 2,412 donors produced 32,591 contributions totaling $11,582,453.
Keep Broker on its own South Carolina page. Mixing it with a sibling string would double-count some people and miss others, and this packet has no counts for those other strings. The South Carolina cell is only the BROKER × SC overlap: $181,154, 690 contributions, 31 donors.
Thirty-one South Carolina Broker donors
31 South Carolina donors produced 690 contributions totaling $181,154. Donor state SC is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a South Carolina workplace, and not a limit to South Carolina candidates.
The South Carolina campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to SC. This join is only BROKER. STOCKBROKER, REAL ESTATE BROKER, and INSURANCE BROKER, if used, sit in other hubs. They are not this page even when they share the SC state code.
Broker donations without South Carolina still holds the remainder of the $11,582,453 occupation total ($11,401,299). A South Carolina directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.
A four-letter title is not a license class
BROKER is an underspecified string; South Carolina licenses are not joined here. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.
Independent expenditures, party coordinated spends, and committee-to-committee transfers are other FEC tables. They are not added into $181,154. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not name committees or donors.
Read the three South Carolina counts as one cell: $181,154 dollars, 690 contributions, 31 donors. Read the three national Broker counts as the other: $11,582,453, 32,591, 2,412. Percentages (1.6% of dollars, 2.1% of rows, 1.3% of donors) are ratios of those six integers. No election cycle is named in these aggregates, so the totals are the LobbyVault FEC extract window rather than a single even-year cycle. Thirty-one South Carolina donors produced 690 itemized rows inside a 2,412-donor national Broker bucket.
Broker dollars from every other state
1.6% of $11,582,453 is $181,154. The complementary $11,401,299 is the same occupation string in states that are not South Carolina. Do not treat the complement as a single rival state; it is every other state added together.
Citation practice: name both sides. Broker without South Carolina is the occupation hub. South Carolina without Broker is the state hub. The tie path is the intersection only. Source note: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state.
Related tables for Broker and South Carolina
Broker donations holds the $11,582,453 national occupation total and the 2,412-donor count. South Carolina campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to SC. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections. None of those hubs is a substitute for quoting $181,154, 690 contributions, and 31 donors together.
Keep the citation two-sided: Broker and South Carolina. The occupation hub without the state is a different page. The state hub without the occupation is a different page. The tie is only the overlap at $181,154. FEC.gov remains the underlying source for itemized individual contributions. No contractor names, award recipients, or donor names appear in this packet, so none are invented here.
