Tennessee FEC totals for occupation Public Relations

Both filters: PUBLIC RELATIONS and state TN

The Tennessee × Public Relations join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $283,732 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation PUBLIC RELATIONS and state TN at the same time. 620 is the matching line count. 29 is the matching donor-key count. $8,958,749 is what remains when the state filter is lifted for the same occupation string.

Dividing $283,732 by 620 yields about $458 per contribution. Dividing by 29 yields about $9,784 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 21.4 (620 ÷ 29). Nationally the occupation averages about $267 per gift and 21.7 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

How FEC stores Public Relations as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged PUBLIC RELATIONS, summing to $8,958,749 across 33,552 contributions and 1,549 donors, of which $283,732 is the Tennessee cell. What it excludes: other occupation strings, unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee filings that are not individual contribution aggregates.

Per-gift and per-donor dollars in Tennessee

About $458 per contribution is $283,732 divided by 620. About $9,784 per donor is $283,732 divided by 29. About 21.4 gifts per donor is 620 divided by 29. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

Donor state TN is the address code on the itemized record. Live occupation hubs can move as amended individual reports arrive. If a live hub disagrees with $283,732 or $8,958,749, the newer FEC extract controls.

$283,732 versus $8,958,749

Never write that Public Relations gave $8,958,749 in Tennessee. $8,958,749 is the national occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only state is Tennessee unless 3.2% is 100%, which it is not here. $283,732 is the Tennessee cell. The two columns are labeled stateTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

3.2% 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. $283,732 does not become an award total because a state appears in both systems. $8,958,749 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. PUBLIC RELATIONS is the two-word occupation string. Communications and Publicist are other keys. Agency versus in-house work is unpublished.

Why this page is not a Public Relations directory

This page is not a directory of Public Relations professionals in Tennessee, not a membership list, and not a PRSA membership roll, a firm client list, or a NAICS advertising census. 29 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $283,732.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Public Relations donations, Tennessee campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties. No other URL is cited. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Public Relations, donor state Tennessee (TN), $283,732 itemized, 620 contributions, 29 donors, 3.2% of $8,958,749 from 1,549 national donors. PUBLIC RELATIONS is the two-word occupation string. Communications and Publicist are other keys. Agency versus in-house work is unpublished. PR, Communications, Publicist, and Media Relations stay on other occupation pages. The Tennessee campaign finance 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 $283,732: treat it as payroll, treat 29 as a workforce census, treat 3.2% as a share of Tennessee statewide 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 $458 per contribution and $9,784 per donor remain attached to 620 and 29. About 21.4 lines per donor remains 620 divided by 29.

TN is stored as a two-letter donor-state code. That address label is the only geography claim in the packet besides the state name. No city split, no congressional-district split, and no committee list appears here. If a later extract revises $283,732 or $8,958,749, the live Public Relations donations overlay and the live Tennessee state page control. This JSON file is a snapshot of packet facts, not a third disclosure system.
