Fourteen New Hampshire donors inside COMPUTER PROGRAMMER
Occupation COMPUTER PROGRAMMER and donor state NH produce $938,601, 510 contributions, and 14 donors. The occupation hub is $10,364,545, 60,398 contributions, and 1,387 donors. New Hampshire’s dollar share is about 9.1% ($938,601 of $10,364,545). Its contribution share is about 0.84% (510 of 60,398). Its donor share is about 1.0% (14 of 1,387).
Dollar share is about nine times donor share. Fourteen people produced roughly one eleventh of occupation dollars while making up about one hundredth of occupation donors. Five hundred ten itemized gifts carried that dollar pile — a thin line count relative to 60,398 national contributions.
PROGRAMMER donors in Washington and SOFTWARE donors in Washington use different occupation strings and a different donor state. They are not inside $938,601.
A two-word title, not a BLS programmer census
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER is typed on the receipt. FEC.gov does not verify a computer-science job or an employer. One thousand three hundred eighty-seven national donors used the two-word stamp. People who typed PROGRAMMER or SOFTWARE ENGINEER sit in other occupation totals if those strings are separate slugs.
Sixty thousand three hundred ninety-eight contributions from 1,387 donors nationwide is about 44 itemized gifts per donor. New Hampshire’s 510 contributions from 14 donors is about 36 gifts per donor. Receipt frequency is in the same band; gift size is not.
Per-donor dollars among fourteen people
Dividing $938,601 by 14 donors yields about $67,043 per donor. Dividing by 510 contributions yields about $1,840 per gift. Nationally, $10,364,545 divided by 60,398 contributions is about $172 per gift. The New Hampshire mean is more than ten times the national occupation mean. A few large itemized gifts among 14 people explain the cell.
Donor state NH is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be New Hampshire committees. This join does not name employers and does not split party.
Fourteen New Hampshire donors produced 510 contributions, about 36 itemized gifts per person, versus about 44 nationally. Frequency is slightly lower. Amount carries the 9.1% dollar share: about $1,840 per gift versus about $172 nationally. Five hundred ten lines are 0.84% of 60,398 national contributions—almost invisible in the occupation’s receipt pile, visible in its dollars.
What 9.1% does not mean
New Hampshire’s share of Computer Programmer-coded dollars is a table split. It is not evidence that New Hampshire caused programmer giving, that programmers as a class funded a party, or that fourteen people represent the state’s software workforce. Occupation and state travel together on receipts. Causation is not in the join.
Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
PROGRAMMER in Washington ($1,041,167, 152 donors) uses a shorter string and a different state. SOFTWARE in Washington uses a one-word industry stamp. $938,601 is COMPUTER PROGRAMMER × NH only. The three cells are not a New England-plus-Washington tech total.
Occupation hub versus this thin state cell
Computer Programmer donations carries the $10,364,545 national occupation total. New Hampshire campaign finance carries all NH-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties keep COMPUTER PROGRAMMER separate from PROGRAMMER and SOFTWARE so $938,601 is not added to those other cells.
The occupation hub still holds $9,425,944 outside New Hampshire ($10,364,545 minus $938,601). Use Computer Programmer donations for that remainder. Fourteen people can dominate this occupation’s New Hampshire cell without dominating the state’s statewide hub.
Fourteen donors inside 60,398 national lines
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER nationally is contribution-heavy: 60,398 lines. New Hampshire’s 510 lines are 0.84% of that pile and 9.1% of dollars. Fourteen people and a $1,840 mean gift produce that mismatch. The occupation’s typical receipt is the national $172 mean, not this cell’s mean.
PROGRAMMER in Washington is a different string and state. $938,601 is COMPUTER PROGRAMMER × NH. The remaining $9,425,944 sits on the occupation hub.
