Construction donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

Construction × 2014

CONSTRUCTION plus cycle 2014 equals $803,080. 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 2014. Contractor, builder, construction executive, and construction worker are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a BLS employment census, a GC-license file, or a Dodge-report bid log. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Parent hubs: Construction donations at /occupations/construction/ and the 2014 election cycle at /election-cycles/2014/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $803,080 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Construction in 2014 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $803,080. Trade, region, and public versus private work is unpublished for Construction in 2014. The occupation page and the 2014 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

CONSTRUCTION in a midterm window

$17.9 million ($17,948,059) belongs to the exact string CONSTRUCTION across harvested cycles. It is not a BLS employment census, a GC-license file, or a Dodge-report bid log. People who wrote nearby wording — contractor, builder, construction executive, and construction worker — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2014 slice is 4.5% of that title bucket. Share of CONSTRUCTION is not share of all 2014 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $803,080. 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 2014 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 $803,080.

746 construction receipts in 2014

406 donors and 746 receipts — about 1.8 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $1,077; mean per donor about $1,978. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 406 donors makes this a mid-size occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 746 is a line count, not 406 one-time gifts; receipts sit close to the donor count, so many people in the cell appear on a small number of lines. Trade, region, and public versus private work 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 $803,080.

2014 cell versus the 2010 construction join

Cite $803,080 as Construction in 2014. Cite $17,948,059 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add contractor-association and building-trades PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $803,080 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 4.5%.

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 2014

A clean footnote names occupation CONSTRUCTION, election cycle 2014, $803,080 in itemized individual contributions, 746 receipts, and 406 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $1,077 per line and $1,978 per donor in the cell. If the live Construction donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 746 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Construction donations rolls every cycle into one CONSTRUCTION running total. The 2014 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2014 total. Only the Construction × 2014 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 746 receipts and $803,080. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
