Computer Programmer political contributions from California

Reading $2,458,886 as an intersection

$2,458,886 is the amount that survives both filters. The occupation filter is Computer Programmer (COMPUTER PROGRAMMER). The state filter is California (CA). FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 16,286 lines, and the 232 donors.

Because the grouping is typed, the cell is a text match. Household members and former workers can reuse a title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate. Programmer, software engineer, developer, and software developer are other keys.

Use the occupation hub when the question is every state for Computer Programmer. Use California campaign finance when the question is every string in CA. Use this tie when the question is both. COMPUTER PROGRAMMER is an older-style job string. Software engineer is a neighboring title and is not recoded into this California cell.

Limits of the Computer Programmer string in California

The string COMPUTER PROGRAMMER is only as wide as the characters stored. Longer titles that contain extra words are other keys. Shorter abbreviations are other keys. A BLS programmer census, a GitHub user list, or a tech-payroll file would require a different extract.

Programmer, software engineer, developer, and software developer stay on their own occupation-state URLs. Mixing them into $2,458,886 would invent a sector total this packet does not contain. COMPUTER PROGRAMMER is an older-style job string. Software engineer is a neighboring title and is not recoded into this California cell.

A clean footnote for COMPUTER PROGRAMMER in CA

Footnote language that stays inside the packet: filers who stored occupation COMPUTER PROGRAMMER and donor state CA itemized $2,458,886 (16,286 contributions, 232 donors; 23.7% of $10,364,545 nationally). Source: FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Leave applications versus systems versus embedded programming as typed out of the footnote because it is unpublished. Leave named donors out because they are not in this packet. Leave federal awards out because they are a different dataset.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.
