FEC individual gifts: General Manager in 2010

Why General Manager and 2010 share a page

Occupation and cycle are independent fields on the same itemized rows. Joining them does not create new receipts. It hides rows that fail either test. After both tests, General Manager in 2010 shows $1,414,106, 1,685 contributions, and 956 donors. The occupation extract without a cycle filter is $26,732,218.

Because labels are filer-entered, GENERAL MANAGER is not a controlled vocabulary. A person can type GENERAL MANAGER on one gift and a longer title on the next. Only the rows that match this string enter $1,414,106. See General Manager donations for the string’s all-cycle dollars and 2010 election cycle for the 2010 mix of every occupation.

Occupation-wide dollars for General Manager

The occupation-wide total for GENERAL MANAGER on this extract is $26,732,218 ($26.7 million). That figure includes every indexed cycle for the same string, not only 2010. $1,414,106 is the 2010 slice (5.3%). GENERAL MANAGER is the two-word title. MANAGER, MANAGEMENT, GM, and STORE MANAGER are other keys. The join does not recode those strings and does not infer an industry from the title.

GENERAL MANAGER is not recoded to a Standard Occupational Classification code on this page. Readers who want SOC or BLS employment counts need those agencies. FEC occupation is a free-text field. $26,732,218 inherits that messiness. The 2010 filter does not clean it.

The even-year window that holds $1.4 million

The 2010 value is the FEC two-year election cycle that closes on the 2010 federal election calendar. It is a reporting window on individual contribution records, not a single Election Day total and not a count of offices on the ballot. Receipts dated inside that cycle window stay here; receipts dated in another even-year cycle sit on that other join. Inside that window, General Manager accounts for $1,414,106 on 1,685 contributions from 956 donors.

The 2010 filter is the FEC cycle code on the aggregate, not a news-cycle. Primary, runoff, and general dates inside the window are not split in this packet. $1,414,106 is the window sum. Do not allocate it across months or offices without another table.

Donor identity versus contribution rows for GENERAL MANAGER

1,685 contributions and 956 donors describe different units. A row is an itemized receipt line. A donor is a unique person inside this occupation–cycle filter as LobbyVault matches names. 1,685 divided by 956 is the mean lines per donor in this cell; $1,414,106 divided by 956 is about $1,479 per donor; $1,414,106 divided by 1,685 is about $839 per line. Means are not medians. Large gifts pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median.

Repeat the units when you quote: $1,414,106 itemized individual contributions, 1,685 lines, 956 unique donors, occupation string GENERAL MANAGER, FEC cycle 2010. Dropping the units is how a join gets rewritten as a headline about an industry bloc.

A complete citation names occupation GENERAL MANAGER, cycle 2010, dollars $1,414,106, contribution lines 1,685, and unique donors 956. Omitting the occupation string makes the cycle look occupation-wide. Omitting the cycle makes the occupation hub look like a single-year figure. Omitting the donor count invites a reader to treat 1,685 as people. Keep all five tokens.

Caveats that travel with $1,414,106

This page is not a claim that donations fund federal spending. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets. The join here is occupation × cycle inside FEC.gov only. It is not a ranking of occupations, not medical or political advice, and not a statement that General Manager as a profession acted in concert in 2010.

Nothing on this page assigns a motive. Itemized receipts are legal disclosures. 956 people who typed GENERAL MANAGER in 2010 produced $1,414,106. That sentence is complete. Adding “because” requires a source this packet does not contain.

General Manager donations is the all-cycle table for this string. 2010 election cycle is the all-occupation table for 2010. All occupations is the string inventory. All FEC ties is the join inventory. None of those pages authorizes adding $1,414,106 to a USAspending obligation total or ranking General Manager as more influential than another title.

Questions

How much General Manager money shows up in 2010 on FEC.gov?

Itemized individual contributions with occupation GENERAL MANAGER total $1,414,106 in the 2010 FEC cycle. LobbyVault counts 1,685 contributions and 956 unique donors in that cell. The occupation-wide total for the same string on this extract is $26,732,218, so 2010 is 5.3% of that roll-up. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Labels are filer-entered.

How does $1,414,106 relate to $26,732,218?

No. $1,414,106 is the 2010 slice only. The occupation hub still shows $26,732,218 across the extract. This page is a join: occupation string plus even-year cycle. It is not a restatement of General Manager donations and not a restatement of 2010 election cycle. Adding other cycles here would invent dollars the packet does not list.

What do 956 donors and 1,685 lines mean?

The join lists 956 unique donors and 1,685 contribution lines for GENERAL MANAGER in 2010. A person can give more than once, so lines exceed donors. About $1,479 per donor and $839 per line are means from $1,414,106, not medians and not typical gifts. Name matching can split or merge people. This is not a job-census headcount.

Is GENERAL MANAGER a recoded occupation category?

No. The filter is the exact occupation string GENERAL MANAGER as filers typed it. Nearby titles stay on other keys listed under all occupations. The string is not a NAICS code, not a BLS occupation, and not a PAC. See General Manager donations for this key’s all-cycle table and all FEC ties for other joins. Cite FEC.gov.
