Sales and Illinois as a mid-single-digit slice

Occupation SALES and donor state IL produce $3,484,461, 15,644 contributions, and 868 donors. The occupation hub is $70,603,695, 384,165 contributions, and 16,747 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is 4.9%; contribution share 4.1% (15,644 of 384,165); donor share 5.2% (868 of 16,747). A high contribution count relative to 868 donors describes repeat itemized rows, not 15,644 unique Illinois salespeople.

Do not stack SALES with SALESPERSON, SALES MANAGER, and SALES EXECUTIVE into a single Illinois professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. 868 Illinois donors produced 15,644 contributions, about 18.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 22.9 rows per donor nationally. The arithmetic mean gift in this Illinois cell is about $223, against about $184 nationwide.

SALES as a one-word occupation stamp

SALES is a filer-entered string. SALESPERSON, SALES MANAGER, and SALES EXECUTIVE, if used, sit in other hubs. The $70,603,695 national total is SALES only. 16,747 donors produced 384,165 contributions in that occupation bucket. This page does not split those 384,165 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Illinois (IL).

868 Illinois donors produced 15,644 contributions totaling $3,484,461. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. The leftover $67,119,234 is Sales-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Eight hundred sixty-eight Illinois Sales donors

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only SALES. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of an Illinois workplace, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. The Sales occupation hub without Illinois still holds 95.1% of the $70,603,695.

Sales donations holds the $70,603,695 national occupation total. Illinois campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and All FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields.

Quota rankings, longer sales titles, and awards

This page does not measure an Illinois retail-employment census or a sales-quota ranking. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. SALES is not an Illinois salesperson license file. Donor state IL is not recipient geography. The join does not rank Illinois sales donors against other states as more or less political.

Subtract the Illinois dollars on this page from the national SALES occupation total and the difference is $67,119,234 still coded SALES in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 868 is not a person-level audit. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join.

How to cite Sales × Illinois

Quote Sales and Illinois together with $3,484,461, 15,644 contributions, and 868 donors, then the national Sales book of $70,603,695 from 16,747 donors. Illinois is 4.9% of those dollars. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence.

Sales donations without Illinois still holds the remainder of the occupation total. Public records, two fields, one intersection. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not treat donor state as a claim that the money stayed inside Illinois races. Independent expenditures and USAspending awards remain other government files.

Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Quote $3,484,461 only with Sales and Illinois named in the same sentence.
