Management and the 2010 election cycle on FEC.gov

The relationship: Management receipts inside 2010

The headline number is $1,391,637 ($1.4 million) for Management in 2010. Share of the occupation extract: 4.5% of $30,941,568. Contribution rows: 1,402. Unique donors: 756. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered, so spelling, punctuation, and job-title fashion all split people across keys.

A join is not a causal story. 1,402 lines in 2010 do not prove that Management as a labor category moved a race. They prove that this many itemized receipts carried this string in this cycle window. Open Management donations for the all-cycle occupation table, 2010 election cycle for the cycle table, all occupations for sibling strings, and all FEC ties for other two-dimension pages.

$30,941,568 is the all-cycle Management figure

The occupation-wide total for MANAGEMENT on this extract is $30,941,568 ($30.9 million). That figure includes every indexed cycle for the same string, not only 2010. $1,391,637 is the 2010 slice (4.5%). MANAGEMENT is a broad occupation string, not a BLS management-occupation census. MANAGER, GENERAL MANAGER, MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT, and EXECUTIVE sit on other pages. The join does not assign an industry or an employer size.

Sibling titles are not in $30,941,568 unless the filer typed MANAGEMENT exactly. That is why all occupations exists: so a reader can see neighboring strings without folding them into Management. Folding them here would invent a cluster the FEC field does not contain. Keep $30,941,568 attached to this string only.

Cycle 2010 as a filter on Management receipts

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, Management accounts for $1,391,637 on 1,402 contributions from 756 donors.

Amended filings can move a receipt across a cycle boundary or change an occupation string. If FEC.gov later shows a different 2010 total for MANAGEMENT, the live hubs win. This JSON is a packet snapshot. Rewrite the cycle sentence when the extract moves; do not average old and new cells.

How to cite the 2010 donor and line counts

1,402 contributions and 756 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. 1,402 divided by 756 is the mean lines per donor in this cell; $1,391,637 divided by 756 is about $1,841 per donor; $1,391,637 divided by 1,402 is about $993 per line. Means are not medians. Large gifts pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median.

If a later extract changes only the unique-donor count, keep $1,391,637 and 1,402 unless those moved too. The three measures can move independently when matching rules change. This page will not invent a fourth measure such as households or zip clusters.

A complete citation names occupation MANAGEMENT, cycle 2010, dollars $1,391,637, contribution lines 1,402, and unique donors 756. 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 1,402 as people. Keep all five tokens.

How to cite the join without overclaiming

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 Management as a profession acted in concert in 2010.

Do not recode MANAGEMENT into an industry, a union, a PAC, or a NAICS sector on the strength of this page. Industry joins are other packets. PAC joins are other packets. This one stops at occupation and cycle. $1,391,637, 1,402, 756, $30,941,568, and 2010 are the usable figures.

Questions

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

Itemized individual contributions with occupation MANAGEMENT total $1,391,637 in the 2010 FEC cycle. LobbyVault counts 1,402 contributions and 756 unique donors in that cell. The occupation-wide total for the same string on this extract is $30,941,568, so 2010 is 4.5% of that roll-up. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Labels are filer-entered.

How does $1,391,637 relate to $30,941,568?

No. $1,391,637 is the 2010 slice only. The occupation hub still shows $30,941,568 across the extract. This page is a join: occupation string plus even-year cycle. It is not a restatement of Management donations and not a restatement of 2010 election cycle. Adding other cycles here would invent dollars the packet does not list.

What do 756 donors and 1,402 lines mean?

The join lists 756 unique donors and 1,402 contribution lines for MANAGEMENT in 2010. A person can give more than once, so lines exceed donors. About $1,841 per donor and $993 per line are means from $1,391,637, not medians and not typical gifts. Name matching can split or merge people. This is not a job-census headcount.

Is MANAGEMENT a recoded occupation category?

No. The filter is the exact occupation string MANAGEMENT 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 Management donations for this key’s all-cycle table and all FEC ties for other joins. Cite FEC.gov.
