Economist contributions received by ACTBLUE

Economist as occupation, ActBlue as recipient

ECONOMIST is the grouped occupation string. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. ECONOMICS PROFESSOR, FINANCIAL ANALYST, and ECONOMICS are other keys if stored separately. Matching rows sum to $2,949,471 across 38,160 contributions. The occupation hub is $15,061,265 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Economist. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

Tens of thousands of modest itemized lines through a conduit describe a drip pattern more than a handful of max-out checks. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed ECONOMIST; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll. An economist title on Schedule A is not a Ph.D. verification and not a forecast shop.

About one-fifth of the Economist grouping

The Economist occupation grouping shows $15,061,265 in itemized individual money. The ACTBLUE cell is $2,949,471, or 19.6% of that total. The remaining $12,111,794 went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder. Most Economist-coded dollars still sit at candidate committees, party committees, and other PACs.

Economist keeps the $15,061,265 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a company PAC or for independent expenditures.

38,160 contributions and a two-digit mean

ACTBLUE received $2,949,471 from Economist-coded receipts across 38,160 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $77 per contribution. 38,160 lines are not 38,160 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell. A two-digit mean is consistent with many small earmarks, not a typical consulting retainer.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $2,949,471 total. C00401224 can function as a conduit; this join still stores the committee as the recipient on the itemized line.

Forecasts, Fed staff, and federal awards

A 19.6% share of Economist-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ACTBLUE is the occupation’s only political destination. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards. Do not read the join as proof that economists as a profession directed a party.

Quote $2,949,471 as 19.6% of $15,061,265 into C00401224, with 38,160 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 38,160 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. This page is not a Bureau of Labor Statistics economist census or a Federal Reserve staff roster.

How to cite Economist × C00401224

A complete claim names Economist and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $2,949,471, 38,160 contributions, and 19.6% of $15,061,265, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $12,111,794 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

A BLS economist census or a Federal Reserve staff roster would be a different object. This join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged ECONOMIST and attributed to C00401224. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Mean gift $77 is $2,949,471 divided by 38,160 lines, and the occupation remainder outside C00401224 is $12,111,794. Repeat the four numbers together: $2,949,471 into C00401224, 38,160 contributions, 19.6% of $15,061,265, committee ACTBLUE.
