Construction donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Construction × 2010

CONSTRUCTION plus cycle 2010 equals $830,136. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2010. Contractor, construction executive, builder, and construction worker are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a BLS construction-employment census, a contractor-license file, or a project bid log. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Parent hubs: Construction donations at /occupations/construction/ and the 2010 election cycle at /election-cycles/2010/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $830,136 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Construction in 2010 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $830,136. Residential versus heavy-civil versus specialty trades is unpublished for Construction in 2010. The occupation page and the 2010 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

CONSTRUCTION as an industry word

$17.9 million ($17,948,059) belongs to the exact string CONSTRUCTION across harvested cycles. It is not a BLS construction-employment census, a contractor-license file, or a project bid log. People who wrote nearby wording — contractor, construction executive, builder, and construction worker — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2010 slice is 4.6% of that title bucket. Share of CONSTRUCTION is not share of all 2010 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $830,136. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $17,948,059. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Construction donations and the live 2010 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $830,136.

759 construction receipts in a midterm

455 donors and 759 receipts — about 1.7 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $1,094; mean per donor about $1,824. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 455 donors makes this a mid-size occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 759 is a line count, not 455 one-time gifts; receipts sit close to the donor count, so many people in the cell appear on a small number of lines. Residential versus heavy-civil versus specialty trades is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by CONSTRUCTION. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $830,136.

Industry string versus contractor PACs

Cite $830,136 as Construction in 2010. Cite $17,948,059 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add contractor-association and union PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $830,136 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 4.6%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode CONSTRUCTION into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite construction money in 2010

A clean footnote names occupation CONSTRUCTION, election cycle 2010, $830,136 in itemized individual contributions, 759 receipts, and 455 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $1,094 per line and $1,824 per donor in the cell. If the live Construction donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 759 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Construction donations rolls every cycle into one CONSTRUCTION running total. The 2010 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2010 total. Only the Construction × 2010 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 759 receipts and $830,136. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
