Management Consultant donations in the 2008 FEC cycle

Management Consultant as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $1,334,217, 1,492 contributions, and 627 donors. 2008 is an earlier presidential-year slice of the same MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT string. The occupation hub rolls every cycle that used this spelling. The 2008 election-cycle hub rolls every occupation that filed that cycle. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

Management Consultant is a two-word advisory title as typed. Nearby strings — CONSULTANT, STRATEGY CONSULTANT, CONSULTING, and ADVISOR — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $1,334,217 or $13,454,559. IT consultants and independent coaches who typed Consultant are outside this cell.

2008’s dollar share is 9.9% ($1,334,217 of $13,454,559). The remainder sits in other cycles on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,334,217.

The Management Consultant string across cycles

Under the exact label MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT, harvested individual contributions sum to $13.5 million ($13,454,559). The 2008 cell is 9.9% of that occupation total. The FEC file does not verify a firm partnership or a client engagement. A share in a presidential cycle is a slice, not proof that the remaining dollars sat in any particular other year. Those other years are not in this packet.

Management Consultant is not a NAICS professional-services census. Open Management Consultant donations for the $13,454,559 roll. Open the 2008 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

2008 receipts and donors

Inside the 2008 cell, 1,492 itemized contributions map to 627 donors. That is about 2.4 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $894; dollars per donor average about $2,128. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

Presidential-year volume can mix primary, general, and other receipts dated to 2008. This packet does not split $1,334,217 by those stages or by party. The 2008 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Management Consultant row. 627 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2008, not a turnout figure.

How to read the two dollar columns

Keep $1,334,217 attached to 2008 and $13,454,559 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2008 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award, a research grant, or a USAspending obligation. Quote $1,334,217 with both nouns: Management Consultant and 2008.

What the Management Consultant–2008 join does not claim

Occupation labels are filer-entered. Management Consultant is not a NAICS professional-services census. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $1.3 million. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

No motive, no vote, no ranking of occupations. Not a consulting-firm headcount, not a CBA roster, and not a McKinsey-alumni file. Use All occupations to compare other labels; use All FEC ties for other joins. 1,492 receipts and 627 donors are the volume facts for this join.

Questions

How much did management consultants donate in 2008?

Filers who wrote Management Consultant on FEC individual contribution records itemized $1,334,217 in the 2008 cycle, across 1,492 receipts from 627 donors. That cell is 9.9% of $13,454,559 harvested under the same exact occupation string. Nearby spellings are counted on other occupation pages.

Is Management Consultant the same as Consultant?

No. MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT and CONSULTANT are different occupation strings. Strategy Consultant and Consulting are other keys if filers used those words. This join uses only MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT and does not stack the shorter stamp onto this cell. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Management Consultant in 2008 is $1,334,217 on 1,492 receipts from 627 donors.

What is an occupation-cycle join on LobbyVault?

It is the overlap of one self-reported occupation key and one even-numbered FEC cycle. The occupation hub holds $13.5 million for this string across cycles. The cycle hub holds every occupation that filed in 2008. This page reports only the overlapping cell, $1.3 million, so the two dimensions are not restated as one table.

Does the 2008 Management Consultant total include PACs or party committees?

$1,334,217 is an aggregate of individual contributions whose occupation field matches this string. It is not PAC independent spending, not committee-to-committee transfers, and not a party split. This packet has no party field. Open the Management Consultant donations hub or the 2008 election cycle hub for committee-level rows.
