SALES and Florida, joined
Keeping FEC individual contributions where occupation is SALES and contributor state is Florida produces $3,923,712. That is about 6% of $70,603,695 nationally. Florida’s 20,383 contributions are about 5% of 384,165. Its 1,002 donors are about 6% of 16,747. The three percentages sit together. Florida looks like a scaled piece of a mass label, not a concentration cell.
Average itemized gift in the Florida join is about $193 ($3,923,712 / 20,383). Sales manager, salesperson, and account executive are not automatically included. This page is the exact SALES bucket.
Twenty thousand three hundred eighty-three Florida SALES gifts are about 5% of 384,165 nationally. One thousand two of 16,747 donors is about 6%. Dollars ($3,923,712 of $70,603,695) are about 6%. The shares agree. REALTOR and DEVELOPER are other Florida occupations, not children of SALES. The remaining 15,745 SALES donors live, as filed, in other states.
SALES as a national catch-all
Sixteen thousand seven hundred forty-seven donors used SALES on itemized receipts totaling $70,603,695 across 384,165 gifts. The word names a function, not an industry. Auto, software, and real-estate sales can share the string if that is what the filer typed.
Most SALES dollars sit outside Florida ($70,603,695 minus $3,923,712). Realtor and entrepreneur are separate Florida ties on this site; they are not subsets of SALES and are not added to the $3,923,712.
One thousand two Florida donors
One thousand two Florida donors produced 20,383 SALES-tagged contributions totaling $3,923,712. Repeat itemization is built into the gap between donor count and contribution count. The Florida campaign-finance hub places SALES beside realtor, business owner, and other FL occupations so a generic commercial word is not treated as all Florida selling-related giving.
Seasonal addresses can place a donor in Florida. Contributor state is the receipt field. Employer and product line are not in this aggregate.
Most of 16,747 national SALES donors and most of $70,603,695 sit outside Florida. A tourism-and-migration state can still be a single-digit slice of a mass commercial label. Keep $3,923,712 attached to 1,002 donors and 20,383 gifts. Recipients remain a committee-level question.
Boundaries of a one-word occupation
SALES does not verify a W-2 sales job or a commission structure. The join does not say Florida sales workers funded Florida candidates. Occupation is not causation. $3,923,712 is labeled itemized giving.

REALTOR, ENTREPRENEUR, DEVELOPER, and BUSINESS OWNER are other Florida ties. SALES is the generic commercial word; it is not a parent of those titles and does not contain them.
Auto, software, and medical-device sales can share this string. The aggregate does not split product lines. Sales manager and salesperson, if they exist as occupation pages, are excluded from the 1,002 keys unless the field was exactly SALES.
