Business Executive political money — 2010 cycle
$748,217 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and the 2010 election cycle. That cell covers 559 contributions from 282 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $13,233,638, so 2010 is 5.7% of the labeled roll. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not a C-suite employment census or a company PAC.

Business Executive as occupation, 2010 as the cycle
Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $748,217, 559 contributions, and 282 donors. BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is a generic title. Filers who typed CEO or Owner sit in other occupation rows. The occupation hub is $13,233,638 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.
2010’s dollar share is 5.7% ($748,217 of $13,233,638). The remainder, $12,485,421, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 559 lines from 282 donors is a mid-scale midterm cell, 5.7% of a large all-cycle executive-title roll. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $748,217.
The Business Executive string across every cycle
$13,233,638 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2010. Executive, CEO, and Business Owner are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $13,233,638 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.
Open Business Executive donations for the $13,233,638 roll. Open the 2010 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. The 2014 Business Executive cell is a different cycle join with its own contribution and donor counts.
282 donors and a four-figure mean gift
Dividing $748,217 by 559 contributions yields about $1,338 per gift. Dividing by 282 donors yields about $2,653 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (559 ÷ 282). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.
282 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2010. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 282 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2010 receipts beside this cell.
What 5.7% of Business Executive dollars is not
A 5.7% share of Business Executive-coded dollars from 2010 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.
Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2010 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $748,217 as itemized individual receipts tagged BUSINESS EXECUTIVE in 2010, source FEC.gov, and stop there.
How to cite Business Executive × 2010
A complete claim names Business Executive and 2010, then $748,217, 559 contributions, 282 donors, and 5.7% of $13,233,638, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 282 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Business Executive and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,338 and mean per donor $2,653 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.
Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and Executive as a sibling
The occupation hub still holds $12,485,421 outside 2010. Most of the $13,233,638 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Executive, CEO, and Business Owner are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of BUSINESS EXECUTIVE on this page. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 2.0. That ratio is 559 divided by 282, not a measure of turnout.
