Program Manager occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Program Manager as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PROGRAM MANAGER and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $482,540, 782 contributions, and 346 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Project manager, program director, and program officer are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a PMP credential file, a federal program-office roster, or an employer PAC. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Program Manager donations at /occupations/program-manager/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $482,540 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Program Manager in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $482,540. Civilian agency versus defense contractor versus nonprofit programs is unpublished for Program Manager in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale management-title cell in an earlier presidential window.

The same PROGRAM MANAGER roll, a 2008 clock

$8.5 million ($8,496,696) belongs to the exact string PROGRAM MANAGER across harvested cycles. It is not a PMP credential file, a federal program-office roster, or an employer PAC. People who wrote nearby wording — project manager, program director, and program officer — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 5.7% of that title bucket ($482,540 of $8,496,696). Share of PROGRAM MANAGER is not share of all 2008 receipts. The remainder, $8,014,156, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $482,540. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $8,496,696. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Program Manager donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $482,540.

346 program-manager donors and 782 receipts in 2008

346 donors and 782 receipts — about 2.3 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $617; mean per donor about $1,395. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale management-title cell in an earlier presidential window. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 782 is a line count, not 346 one-time gifts. Civilian agency versus defense contractor versus nonprofit programs is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by PROGRAM MANAGER. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $482,540. Do not add the 2012 Program Manager cell to this 2008 figure. Each cycle is its own join against the same occupation total.

2008 cell versus the 2012 Program Manager join

Cite $482,540 as Program Manager in 2008. Cite $8,496,696 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add the employer’s PAC to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $482,540 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 5.7%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode PROGRAM MANAGER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Program Manager money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation PROGRAM MANAGER, election cycle 2008, $482,540 in itemized individual contributions, 782 receipts, and 346 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $617 per line and $1,395 per donor in the cell. If the live Program Manager donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 782 as unique workers in the trade named by PROGRAM MANAGER.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Program Manager donations rolls every cycle into one PROGRAM MANAGER running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Program Manager × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 782 receipts and $482,540. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and the 2012 Program Manager cell

The occupation hub still holds $8,014,156 outside 2008. Most of the $8,496,696 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. Do not add the 2012 Program Manager cell to this 2008 figure. Each cycle is its own join against the same occupation total. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.3. That ratio is 782 divided by 346, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
