Investment Analyst political contributions from Pennsylvania

Seven Pennsylvania donors, about one-fifth of the occupation

Occupation INVESTMENT ANALYST and donor state PA produce $1,302,307, 192 contributions, and 7 donors. The occupation hub is $6,133,673, 4,060 contributions, and 341 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 21.2% ($1,302,307 of $6,133,673). Its contribution share is about 4.7% (192 of 4,060). Its donor share is about 2.1% (7 of 341).

About one in five occupation dollars sits in a seven-person cell. Contribution share (4.7%) is larger than donor share (2.1%) but still far below dollar share. Large itemized amounts, not a thick unique-person list, explain the Pennsylvania slice.

ANALYST, FINANCIAL ANALYST, and PORTFOLIO MANAGER are other keys. They are not inside $6,133,673 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping. Portfolio Manager donors in Illinois is a neighboring occupation-state page with its own facts.

A narrow national occupation to begin with

Three hundred forty-one unique donors nationwide make INVESTMENT ANALYST a smaller occupation bucket than SOCIAL WORKER or NURSE. Four thousand sixty contributions from 341 donors is about 12 itemized gifts per donor. Pennsylvania’s 192 contributions from 7 donors is about 27 gifts per donor. Repeat itemization is denser in the Pennsylvania cell.

The label is typed. It can cover equity research, credit analysis, or a title a committee abbreviated. FEC.gov does not verify Series licenses or employer.

Per-donor dollars among seven people

Dividing $1,302,307 by 7 donors yields about $186,044 per donor. Dividing by 192 contributions yields about $6,783 per gift. Nationally, $6,133,673 divided by 4,060 contributions is about $1,511 per gift. The Pennsylvania mean is several times the national mean. With seven unique donors, the cell is sensitive to a few large receipts.

Donor state PA is the address on the itemized record. Recipients need not be Pennsylvania committees. Surgeon, Orthopaedic Surgeon, and Candidate ties in Pennsylvania are separate occupation joins.

Seven Pennsylvania donors produced 192 contributions, about 27 itemized gifts per person, versus about 12 nationally. This cell is both more frequent per donor and much larger per gift (about $6,783 versus about $1,511). Either pattern alone can concentrate dollars. Together they produce the 21.2% share from 2.1% of donors.

What 21.2% is not

Pennsylvania’s share of Investment Analyst-coded dollars is a table split. It is not evidence that Pennsylvania’s financial sector caused the gifts, that analysts as a class funded a party, or that seven people represent the state’s investment workforce. Occupation and state are reported together. Causation is not in the join.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered. These receipts are not USAspending awards.

INVESTMENT ANALYST is not PORTFOLIO MANAGER and not INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT. Those titles have Illinois and Connecticut joins in this packet wave. $1,302,307 is this string and PA only. Adding finance titles after the fact is a recode, not an FEC grouping claimed here.

Occupation hub versus this concentrated cell

Investment Analyst donations carries the $6,133,673 national occupation total. Pennsylvania campaign finance carries all PA-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties place this seven-donor cell beside other occupation-state pages so 21.2% of Investment Analyst dollars is not read as 21.2% of Pennsylvania statewide giving.

The occupation hub still holds $4,831,366 outside Pennsylvania ($6,133,673 minus $1,302,307). Roughly four-fifths of Investment Analyst-coded dollars sit elsewhere. Seven people can dominate a small occupation’s Pennsylvania cell without dominating Pennsylvania’s statewide hub.

Seven donors inside a $6.1 million occupation

Three hundred forty-one national Investment Analyst donors is already a small occupation. Seven Pennsylvania donors are 2.1% of that list and 21.2% of its dollars. Small occupations make large state shares easier. That arithmetic is not a claim about Pennsylvania’s financial workforce.

$1,302,307 remains an inner join. Committee recipients, party, and employer names are outside this relationship record. Use the occupation hub and the Pennsylvania hub for those other cuts.
