IT occupation political money — 2014 FEC cycle

How the IT and 2014 tables meet

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — IT and 2014 — sum to $172,513. The cell holds 150 itemized contributions and 73 unique donors. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. IT is a two-letter stored label, not Information Technology spelled out. 150 receipts from 73 donors summed to $172,513 in 2014 (3.0% of $5,736,483). Software and IT manager are other keys.

Neither the IT hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. IT is one-word self-reported industry/job string. Information technology, IT manager, IT consultant, and software remain other groupings. Open IT donations for other cycles, and the 2014 election cycle for other occupation strings.

Dividing $172,513 by 150 contributions yields about $1,150 per itemized gift. Dividing by 73 donors yields about $2,363 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.1. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical salary.

3.0% of stored IT dollars

2014 holds $172,513 of $5,736,483 — 3.0%. The leftover $5,563,970 is 97.0% of the labeled roll. Those leftover dollars are other cycles, not missing 2014 money.

Share language here is always $172,513 over $5,736,483. It is never $172,513 over all 2014 FEC receipts. No national cycle denominator is in the packet.

Volume: 150 lines, 73 identities

150 itemized contributions from 73 donors produced $172,513. About 2.1 lines per donor is a mean. The packet supplies no median and no largest-gift figure.

Contributor keys can include retirees and household members who reused a workplace or title. 73 is not a labor-force estimate for IT.

Exclusions around $172,513

Outside $172,513: unitemized individual gifts, independent expenditures, PAC spending, and any federal award table. Inside $172,513: itemized individual receipts matching IT in cycle 2014.

The page is one-word self-reported industry/job string, not a BLS information-technology census, a GitHub headcount, or a tech PAC. Naming those exclusions keeps the join from being read as an association political budget.

Because 2014 is about 3.0% of $5,736,483, most stored IT money sits outside this window ($5,563,970). The occupation hub is the index for those other cycles.

Volume math uses only three facts: $172,513, 150 contributions, 73 donors. Derived means are $1,150 per gift and $2,363 per identity. They describe this cell, not typical American giving.

A citation template for this join

Suggested citation: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, occupation IT, election cycle 2014, $172,513, 150 contributions, 73 donors (3.0% of $5,736,483 stored for the string).

Do not append NAICS codes, USAspending dollars, or named donors. Those facts are not in the packet. If a later overlay revises $172,513, the live table controls.

Searchers often want a single Tuesday. FEC cycle 2014 is two years. Both years can feed $172,513. Dates, if needed, belong on the overlay, not as invented subtotals.

The Commission does not verify that IT is a license or a current job. IT is one-word self-reported industry/job string. $172,513 is a text-match aggregate for 2014 itemized individual receipts.

The occupation string IT is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class or a NAICS code. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Cycle 2014 is a two-year FEC tag. Itemized receipts from both years of that window sit in $172,513 if they carried this occupation string.

Unique donors in this packet number 73. This file does not publish names for those keys. Repeat gifts explain why contributions (150) exceed donor keys.

Unitemized gifts never enter $172,513. Independent expenditures, committee transfers, and USAspending awards are other tables and other datasets.
