Sales occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Sales as occupation, 2014 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string SALES. The other is the 2014 federal election cycle. The match is $2,995,660, built from 3,655 contributions and 1,769 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. About 4% of a $70.6 million occupation stack in a midterm year is a small-share chapter on a mid-size donor roster. Mean line size is modest. High contribution count is the signature of a common title, not proof of small-dollar giving.

Average contribution is about $820; average per donor is about $1,693. Those means are arithmetic on the 2014 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.1 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

One word that is not a job family

SALES is a one-word occupation string. SALESMAN, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, and SALES MANAGER, if used, sit in other hubs. The FEC does not map the word onto a product category or a NAICS code.

$70,603,695 is every cycle combined for SALES. $2,995,660 in 2014 is about 4.2% of that stack. Other windows hold about 95.8% ($67,608,035). A cycle cell at 4.2% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. SALESMAN, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, and SALES MANAGER are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

1,769 donors and 3,655 gifts in 2014

1,769 unique donors against 3,655 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2014 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $2,995,660.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode SALES into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2014 cycle hub.

About 4.2% of a $70.6 million occupation stack

4.2% is $2,995,660 divided by $70,603,695. Reading only 2014 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 4.2%. The leftover outside 2014 is $67,608,035. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2014 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $70,603,695 is shared.

What a Sales–2014 join cannot claim

This page does not identify employers or products. It does not rank sales occupations as a political class. Recipients belong on the occupation and cycle hubs.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $2,995,660, 3,655 contributions, and 1,769 donors for Sales in 2014. Cite $70,603,695 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Sales and 2014 tables

Sales donations is the occupation hub behind $70,603,695. The 2014 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $2,995,660, 3,655 gifts, or 1,769 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string SALES attached to $2,995,660 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2014. Keep 3,655 contributions and 1,769 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Sales in 2014 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $70,603,695 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did Sales-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Sales grouping’s 2014 cell is $2,995,660 in itemized individual contributions, from 3,655 contributions and 1,769 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $70,603,695 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Sales include every sales title?

No. This cell is the self-reported string SALES matched to cycle 2014. SALESMAN, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, and SALES MANAGER are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the Sales occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of Sales FEC money fell in 2014?

About 4.2%. $2,995,660 divided by $70,603,695 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 95.8% ($67,608,035) on the occupation hub. See the Sales occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Is this an employer-industry total?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $2,995,660 is itemized receipts tagged SALES in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
