2014 FEC cycle — Project Manager occupation totals

Both filters: PROJECT MANAGER and cycle 2014

The 2014 × Project Manager join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $589,783 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation PROJECT MANAGER and cycle 2014 at the same time. 800 is the matching line count. 400 is the matching donor-key count. $17,977,652 is what remains when the cycle filter is lifted for the same occupation string.

Dividing $589,783 by 800 yields about $737 per contribution. Dividing by 400 yields about $1,474 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (800 ÷ 400). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

Occupation is not a license check. PROJECT MANAGER is the typed title. Program Manager and Manager are other keys. Industry (IT, construction, events) is unpublished. Independent expenditures and USAspending tables do not feed $589,783. Source: FEC.gov.

How FEC stores Project Manager as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged PROJECT MANAGER, summing to $17,977,652 across harvested cycles, of which $589,783 is the 2014 cell. What it excludes: other occupation strings, unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee filings that are not individual contribution aggregates.

Mean about $1,474 per donor in 2014 should be quoted with both inputs ($589,783 and 400). Dropping 400 turns the mean into an unsourced claim. PROJECT MANAGER is the typed title. Program Manager and Manager are other keys. Industry (IT, construction, events) is unpublished.

Per-gift and per-donor dollars in 2014

About $737 per contribution is $589,783 divided by 800. About $1,474 per donor is $589,783 divided by 400. About 2.0 gifts per donor is 800 divided by 400. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

2014 as a midterm cycle dates the window. Live occupation hubs can move as amended individual reports arrive. If a live hub disagrees with $589,783 or $17,977,652, the newer FEC extract controls.

$589,783 versus $17,977,652

Never write that Project Manager gave $17,977,652 in 2014. $17,977,652 is the all-cycle occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only year is 2014 unless 3.3% is 100%, which it is not here. $589,783 is the 2014 cell. The two columns are labeled cycleTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

3.3% is the only legitimate bridge between the columns. It is a quotient, not a second source. Independent expenditures still sit outside both columns.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

USAspending publishes federal obligations by agency and place. FEC publishes campaign finance. $589,783 does not become an award total because a year appears in both systems. $17,977,652 does not become an award total because an occupation string can be compared with a NAICS title in a researcher’s head. This page never claims receipts funded federal awards.

Internal links remain the four packet hrefs only. No other path is cited. Independent expenditures remain outside the dollar columns used here. PROJECT MANAGER is the typed title. Program Manager and Manager are other keys. Industry (IT, construction, events) is unpublished.

Why this page is not a Project Manager directory

This page is not a directory of Project Manager professionals, not a membership list, and not a PMI certification roster, a PMP license file, or an employer org chart. 400 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $589,783.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Project Manager donations, the 2014 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. No other URL is cited. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Project Manager, cycle 2014, $589,783 itemized, 800 contributions, 400 donors, 3.3% of $17,977,652. PROJECT MANAGER is the typed title. Program Manager and Manager are other keys. Industry (IT, construction, events) is unpublished. Program Manager, Manager, PM, and Construction Manager stay on other occupation pages. The 2014 election cycle hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $589,783: treat it as payroll, treat 400 as a workforce census, treat 3.3% as a share of 2014 national receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $737 per contribution and $1,474 per donor remain attached to 800 and 400. About 2.0 lines per donor remains 800 divided by 400.
