North Carolina FEC totals for occupation Designer

Both filters: DESIGNER and state NC

The North Carolina × Designer join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $220,491 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation DESIGNER and state NC at the same time. 1,647 is the matching line count. 45 is the matching donor-key count. $18,568,646 is what remains when the state filter is lifted for the same occupation string. North Carolina’s Designer join shares the national DESIGNER total with Oregon’s page; the two state filters are pairwise cuts, not a stacked design ranking.

Dividing $220,491 by 1,647 yields about $134 per contribution. Dividing by 45 yields about $4,900 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 36.6 (1,647 ÷ 45). Nationally the occupation averages about $166 per gift and 32.3 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

How FEC stores Designer as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged DESIGNER, summing to $18,568,646 across 112,150 contributions and 3,473 donors, of which $220,491 is the North Carolina cell. What it excludes: other occupation strings, unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee filings that are not individual contribution aggregates.

Per-gift and per-donor dollars in North Carolina

About $134 per contribution is $220,491 divided by 1,647. About $4,900 per donor is $220,491 divided by 45. About 36.6 gifts per donor is 1,647 divided by 45. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

Donor state NC is the address code on the itemized record. Live occupation hubs can move as amended individual reports arrive. If a live hub disagrees with $220,491 or $18,568,646, the newer FEC extract controls.

$220,491 versus $18,568,646

Never write that Designer gave $18,568,646 in North Carolina. $18,568,646 is the national occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only state is North Carolina unless 1.2% is 100%, which it is not here. $220,491 is the North Carolina cell. The two columns are labeled stateTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

1.2% is the only legitimate bridge between the columns. It is a quotient, not a second source. Independent expenditures still sit outside both columns.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

USAspending publishes federal obligations by agency and place. FEC publishes campaign finance. $220,491 does not become an award total because a state appears in both systems. $18,568,646 does not become an award total because an occupation string can be compared with a NAICS title in a researcher’s head. This page never claims receipts funded federal awards.

Internal links remain the four packet hrefs only. No other path is cited. Independent expenditures remain outside the dollar columns used here. DESIGNER is the broad self-reported creative title. Graphic Designer and Interior Designer are other keys when those words appear. Discipline is unpublished.

Why this page is not a Designer directory

This page is not a directory of Designer professionals in North Carolina, not a membership list, and not a design-firm PAC, a license file, or a recode of Interior Designer. 45 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $220,491.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Designer donations, North Carolina campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties. No other URL is cited. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Designer, donor state North Carolina (NC), $220,491 itemized, 1,647 contributions, 45 donors, 1.2% of $18,568,646 from 3,473 national donors. DESIGNER is the broad self-reported creative title. Graphic Designer and Interior Designer are other keys when those words appear. Discipline is unpublished. Graphic Designer, Interior Designer, Fashion Designer, and Web Designer stay on other occupation pages. The North Carolina campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $220,491: treat it as payroll, treat 45 as a workforce census, treat 1.2% as a share of North Carolina statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $134 per contribution and $4,900 per donor remain attached to 1,647 and 45. About 36.6 lines per donor remains 1,647 divided by 45.
