Computer Programmer political money — 2010 cycle

In the 2010 FEC cycle, filers listing occupation COMPUTER PROGRAMMER itemized $250,421 in individual contributions. The cycle filter holds 526 contributions and 207 donors. The Computer Programmer occupation total across cycles is $10,364,545 ($10.4 million). 2010 is a thin slice of Computer Programmer occupation dollars: 2.4% ($250,421 of $10,364,545). The occupation hub is much larger than this one cycle. This page is an occupation-and-cycle join, not a restatement of one hub.

Key figures

  • $250,421 joins the Computer Programmer occupation string to the 2010 FEC cycle.
  • 526 contributions from 207 donors produced that cell.
  • 2010 is about 2.4% of the occupation’s $10,364,545 lifetime total.
  • COMPUTER PROGRAMMER is a filer-entered title, not a BLS programmer census.
  • FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.

The Computer Programmer × 2010 intersection

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string COMPUTER PROGRAMMER. The other is the 2010 federal election cycle. The match is $250,421, built from 526 contributions and 207 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2010 is a midterm FEC window. 526 contributions from 207 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. COMPUTER PROGRAMMER is the two-word title. PROGRAMMER without the modifier and SOFTWARE DEVELOPER remain other keys. The join does not assign languages, employers, or that the filer still coded during the cycle. Tech titles fragment on FEC forms. This cell keeps the two-word spelling and does not recode engineer or developer strings into the same bucket. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $250,421. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.

The Computer Programmer occupation hub behind $10,364,545

Computer Programmer donations is the occupation hub: $10,364,545 ($10.4 million) across cycles from filers who typed COMPUTER PROGRAMMER. Sibling strings (PROGRAMMER, SOFTWARE ENGINEER, and SOFTWARE DEVELOPER) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a BLS programmer census, a GitHub-user count, or a tech PAC.

2010’s $250,421 sits inside $10,364,545. Because 2.4% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the leftover outside 2010 is $10,114,124 (97.6%). Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2010 as the second dimension.

2010 as the cycle side of the Computer Programmer join

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Computer Programmer. $250,421 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.

526 contributions from 207 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.5 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $476; mean per donor about $1,210. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $250,421.

Caveats on COMPUTER PROGRAMMER in 2010

Matching Computer Programmer with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Computer Programmer donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a BLS programmer census, a GitHub-user count, or a tech PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. COMPUTER PROGRAMMER is the two-word title. PROGRAMMER without the modifier and SOFTWARE DEVELOPER remain other keys. The join does not assign languages, employers, or that the filer still coded during the cycle. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $250,421 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Computer Programmer and 2010 tables

Computer Programmer donations holds the $10,364,545 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Computer Programmer. All occupations places COMPUTER PROGRAMMER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (PROGRAMMER, SOFTWARE ENGINEER, and SOFTWARE DEVELOPER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $250,421 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Computer Programmer dollars ($10,364,545). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $250,421, 526 contributions, 207 donors, 2.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

How $250,421 sits under $10,364,545

Subtract $250,421 from $10,364,545 and the residual is $10,114,124 in other even-year cycles for the same occupation string, not a different title. 2.4% in 2010 leaves 97.6% of Computer Programmer dollars outside this page.

Do not treat the residual as a named year. This packet only publishes 2010 as the cycle dimension. The occupation hub is the place for the full $10,364,545 series.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
