Photographer occupation money in the 2008 cycle

Photographer as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PHOTOGRAPHER and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $1,001,833, 1,140 contributions, and 500 donors. PHOTOGRAPHER in 2008 is a creative-trade title on itemized receipts. FEC.gov does not verify published work. The occupation hub is $14,417,201 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2008 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2008’s dollar share is 6.9% ($1,001,833 of $14,417,201). The remainder, $13,415,368, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Five hundred donor keys and more than a thousand lines is a mid-scale creative-title cell in a presidential year. 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 $1,001,833.

The PHOTOGRAPHER string across every cycle on file

$14,417,201 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2008. Artist, Photojournalist, and Designer are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $14,417,201 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Photographer donations for the $14,417,201 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.

500 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $1,001,833 by 1,140 contributions yields about $879 per gift. Dividing by 500 donors yields about $2,004 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.3 (1,140 ÷ 500). Those ratios describe this string in 2008, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

500 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2008. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 500 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2008 receipts beside this cell. Photojournalist is a more specific key if stored separately. This page quotes only the one-word PHOTOGRAPHER grouping.

What Photographer dollars in 2008 are not

A 6.9% share of Photographer-coded dollars from 2008 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $1,001,833 as itemized individual receipts tagged PHOTOGRAPHER in 2008, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Photographer × 2008

A complete claim names Photographer and 2008, then $1,001,833, 1,140 contributions, 500 donors, and 6.9% of $14,417,201, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 500 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Photographer and 2008—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $879 and mean per donor $2,004 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and Artist as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $13,415,368 outside 2008. Most of the $14,417,201 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Artist, Photojournalist, and Designer are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of PHOTOGRAPHER on this page. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.3. That ratio is 1,140 divided by 500, not a measure of turnout.

Questions

How much did Photographer-tagged donors give in 2008?

The join records $1,001,833 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Photographer in the 2008 FEC cycle, from 1,140 contributions and 500 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $14,417,201, so 2008 is 6.9% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every photographer who donated in 2008?

No. The 500 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to PHOTOGRAPHER in 2008. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $1,001,833 on 1,140 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Photographer occupation money is the 2008 cycle?

6.9%: $1,001,833 of $14,417,201. The remaining $13,415,368 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $1,001,833 divided by $14,417,201, not a ranking of civic engagement and not a peak-year list. Other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder.

Where are the live Photographer and 2008 tables?
