Instructor and Rhode Island as a concentrated teaching join

Occupation INSTRUCTOR and donor state RI together sum to $171,477, 427 contributions, and 6 donors. The occupation hub is $5,514,850, 46,555 contributions, and 1,277 donors. Rhode Island's share of dollars is 3.1%; of contributions, 0.92% (427 of 46,555); of donors, 0.47% (6 of 1,277).

Six Rhode Island donors produced 427 itemized rows against 1,277 national Instructor donors. Mean itemized dollars per Rhode Island donor in this cell are $28,580; mean per contribution are $402. Those averages are arithmetic on the three packet counts, not typical-gift medians, and they are not evidence of a typical Instructor paycheck.

The leftover $5,343,373 is Instructor-coded money from every other state combined on this extract. Adding other occupation strings that sound similar would invent a combined total the FEC file does not publish as one cell. TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and ADJUNCT, if used, sit in other occupation hubs.

INSTRUCTOR as a national string, Rhode Island slice

INSTRUCTOR is the occupation string on this page. Neighboring labels are not rolled in. TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and ADJUNCT, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. The national hub remains $5,514,850 from 1,277 donors and 46,555 contributions even when a reader expects a broader professional category.

Rhode Island's 427 contributions are 0.92% of national Instructor rows; 6 donors are 0.47%; dollars are 3.1%. Row share and dollar share need not match. A few large itemized gifts can lift dollars while a high-repeat pattern lifts rows. This extract does not publish a median.

Six Rhode Island Instructor donors

6 Rhode Island donors produced 427 contributions totaling $171,477. Donor state RI is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a Rhode Island workplace, and not a limit to Rhode Island candidates.

The Rhode Island campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to RI. This join is only INSTRUCTOR. TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and ADJUNCT, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. They are not this page even when they share the RI state code.

Instructor donations without Rhode Island still holds the remainder of the $5,514,850 occupation total ($5,343,373). A Rhode Island directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Concentration is not a campus headcount

This page does not measure an RIDE certification extract, a college faculty census, or a gym-instructor directory, and it does not claim that Instructor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

INSTRUCTOR fragments against sibling strings. Those strings, if used, never enter the $5,514,850 or the $171,477. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the Rhode Island dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Instructor dollars outside Rhode Island

3.1% of $5,514,850 is $171,477. The complementary $5,343,373 is the same occupation string in states that are not Rhode Island. Do not treat the complement as a single rival state; it is every other state added together.

Citation practice: name both sides. Instructor without Rhode Island is the occupation hub. Rhode Island without Instructor is the state hub. The tie path is the intersection only. Source note: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state.

Read the three Rhode Island counts as one cell: $171,477 dollars, 427 contributions, 6 donors. Read the three national Instructor counts as the other: $5,514,850, 46,555, 1,277. Percentages (3.1% of dollars, 0.92% of rows, 0.47% of donors) are ratios of those six integers. No election cycle is named in these aggregates, so the totals are the LobbyVault FEC extract window rather than a single even-year cycle. Six Rhode Island donors produced 427 itemized rows against 1,277 national Instructor donors.

Related tables for Instructor and Rhode Island

Instructor donations holds the $5,514,850 national occupation total and the 1,277-donor count. Rhode Island campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to RI. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections. None of those hubs is a substitute for quoting $171,477, 427 contributions, and 6 donors together.
