Sales and California as a high-row occupation-state join
Occupation SALES and donor state CA together sum to $10,314,939, 71,526 contributions, and 2,370 donors. The occupation hub is $70,603,695, 384,165 contributions, and 16,747 donors. California’s share of dollars is 14.6%; of contributions, 18.6% (71,526 of 384,165); of donors, 14.2% (2,370 of 16,747).
2,370 California donors produced 71,526 contributions totaling $10,314,939. That is 14.6% of the $70,603,695 Sales occupation total. The leftover $60,288,756 is Sales-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.
California Sales-coded donors produced 71,526 itemized rows totaling $10,314,939, about 30 rows per donor versus about 23 nationally. The occupation is contribution-dense everywhere. California’s 14.6% of $70,603,695 is a slice of that density, not a retail ranking.
SALES as a one-word job label
SALES is a one-word occupation. SALES MANAGER, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, and BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, if typed, sit in other hubs. Sixteen thousand seven hundred forty-seven donors produced 384,165 contributions totaling $70,603,695 — among the highest row counts in this slice.
California’s 71,526 of 384,165 rows are 18.6% of Sales line volume; 2,370 of 16,747 donors are 14.2%; dollars are 14.6%. A high-row occupation can look large in contribution counts while the dollar share stays in the mid-teens. Keep all three figures.
Two thousand three hundred seventy California Sales donors
2,370 California donors produced 71,526 contributions totaling $10,314,939. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.
The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only SALES. SALES MANAGER, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, and BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.
Sales donations without California still holds the remainder of the $70,603,695 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.
Fifteen percent of dollars on a contribution-heavy string
This page does not measure a California retail-employment series or a quota dashboard, and it does not claim that Sales-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.
SALES fragments against SALES MANAGER, ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, and BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. Those strings, if used, never enter the $70,603,695 or the $10,314,939. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.
Sales titles that remain other hubs
Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Sales occupation total and the difference is $60,288,756 still coded Sales in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Sales donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.
A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Sales national total, drops a key.
This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.
Occupation hub, state hub, and Sales ties
Sales donations holds the $70,603,695 national occupation total and the 16,747-donor count. California campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to CA. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections.
