Civil Engineer political contributions from Pennsylvania

Civil Engineer and Pennsylvania as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CIVIL ENGINEER and donor state PA produce $445,208, 2,165 contributions, and 81 donors. The occupation hub is $7,540,113, 32,364 contributions, and 1,700 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 5.9%; contribution share about 6.7% (2,165 of 32,364); donor share about 4.8% (81 of 1,700). Eighty-one Pennsylvania donors produced 2,165 contributions — about 27 itemized rows per donor, a high-frequency cell inside a 32,364-row occupation.

Contribution share (about 6.7%) runs slightly ahead of dollar share (about 5.9%). That is more rows, not necessarily larger checks, relative to the national mix. Do not stack CIVIL ENGINEER with ENGINEER or STRUCTURAL ENGINEER into a single Pennsylvania professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

81 Pennsylvania donors produced 2,165 contributions, about 26.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 19.0 rows per donor nationally (32,364 contributions from 1,700 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Pennsylvania cell is about $206, against about $233 nationwide. Pennsylvania’s slice tracks a high-volume professional label rather than concentrating dollars in a handful of people.

CIVIL ENGINEER as a professional string

CIVIL ENGINEER is a filer-entered string. ENGINEER, STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, and PE, if used, sit in other hubs. The $7,540,113 national total is CIVIL ENGINEER only. 1,700 donors produced 32,364 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 32,364 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Pennsylvania (PA). The FEC file does not verify PE licensure in Pennsylvania or any other state.

Pennsylvania on the state side

81 Pennsylvania donors produced 2,165 contributions totaling $445,208. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. PA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Pennsylvania PE license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $445,208.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only CIVIL ENGINEER. The Civil Engineer occupation hub without Pennsylvania still holds about 94.1% of the $7,540,113. Pennsylvania’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to PA. CIVIL ENGINEER is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count licensed PEs, rank firms, or claim that Civil Engineer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. A civil-engineer title on Schedule A is not a seal on a set of drawings.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CIVIL ENGINEER is not a state PE-board extract. Donor state PA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names and license numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Civil Engineer filter

Subtract the Pennsylvania dollars on this page from the national CIVIL ENGINEER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CIVIL ENGINEER in every other state combined. That remainder ($7,094,905) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 81 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 2,165 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $445,208 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the CIVIL ENGINEER national total, drops a key. Pennsylvania’s contribution share running slightly ahead of its dollar share is the fact to keep next to the $445,208 headline.

Related tables

Civil Engineer donations holds the $7,540,113 national occupation total. Pennsylvania campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. ENGINEER without CIVIL is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
