Both filters: EDITOR and state TN

The Tennessee × Editor join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $201,390 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation EDITOR and state TN at the same time. 986 is the matching line count. 18 is the matching donor-key count. $12,055,499 is what remains when the state filter is lifted for the same occupation string. Tennessee’s Editor join is 18 donor keys on a newsroom-style title; Journalist and Writer remain other keys even inside Tennessee.

Dividing $201,390 by 986 yields about $204 per contribution. Dividing by 18 yields about $11,188 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 54.8 (986 ÷ 18). Nationally the occupation averages about $166 per gift and 37.8 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

How FEC stores Editor as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged EDITOR, summing to $12,055,499 across 72,579 contributions and 1,922 donors, of which $201,390 is the Tennessee 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 Tennessee

About $204 per contribution is $201,390 divided by 986. About $11,188 per donor is $201,390 divided by 18. About 54.8 gifts per donor is 986 divided by 18. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

Donor state TN is the address code on the itemized record. Live occupation hubs can move as amended individual reports arrive. If a live hub disagrees with $201,390 or $12,055,499, the newer FEC extract controls.

$201,390 versus $12,055,499

Never write that Editor gave $12,055,499 in Tennessee. $12,055,499 is the national occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only state is Tennessee unless 1.7% is 100%, which it is not here. $201,390 is the Tennessee cell. The two columns are labeled stateTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

1.7% 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. $201,390 does not become an award total because a state appears in both systems. $12,055,499 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. EDITOR is the occupation string as typed. Journalist and Writer are other keys. Book versus news versus film editing is unpublished.

Why this page is not a Editor directory

This page is not a directory of Editor professionals in Tennessee, not a membership list, and not a newsroom payroll, a guild membership file, or a masthead census. 18 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $201,390.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Editor donations, Tennessee 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 Editor, donor state Tennessee (TN), $201,390 itemized, 986 contributions, 18 donors, 1.7% of $12,055,499 from 1,922 national donors. EDITOR is the occupation string as typed. Journalist and Writer are other keys. Book versus news versus film editing is unpublished. Journalist, Writer, Managing Editor, and Publisher stay on other occupation pages. The Tennessee 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 $201,390: treat it as payroll, treat 18 as a workforce census, treat 1.7% as a share of Tennessee 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 $204 per contribution and $11,188 per donor remain attached to 986 and 18. About 54.8 lines per donor remains 986 divided by 18.
