Sales political contributions from New Jersey

Sales and New Jersey as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation SALES and donor state NJ produce $2,962,030, 16,057 contributions, and 643 donors. The occupation hub is $70,603,695, 384,165 contributions, and 16,747 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 4.2%; contribution share about 4.2% (16,057 of 384,165); donor share about 3.8% (643 of 16,747). Six hundred forty-three New Jersey donors are about 3.8% of 16,747 national donors; 16,057 contributions are about 4.2% of 384,165 national rows; dollars are about 4.2% of $70,603,695.

SALES MANAGER, SALESPERSON, and ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Sales total. Do not stack SALES with SALES MANAGER or SALESPERSON into a single New Jersey professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

643 New Jersey donors produced 16,057 contributions, about 25.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 22.9 rows per donor nationally (384,165 contributions from 16,747 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New Jersey cell is about $184, against about $184 nationwide. New Jersey’s about 4.2% share of $70,603,695 tracks both the contribution share and the national mean gift rather than a thin high-mean cell.

SALES as a one-word occupation bucket

SALES is a filer-entered string. A single word on Schedule A is a coarse filter. It does not identify a product line, a quota, or an employer. 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 New Jersey (NJ). Three hundred eighty-four thousand one hundred sixty-five national contributions make SALES a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NJ.

New Jersey on the state side

643 New Jersey donors produced 16,057 contributions totaling $2,962,030. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. NJ is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New Jersey sales territory, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,962,030.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only SALES. The Sales occupation hub without New Jersey still holds about 95.8% of the $70,603,695. New Jersey’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NJ. SALES is only this filter.

What the Sales–New Jersey join is not

This page does not measure retail volume, merge manager titles, or claim that Sales-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. SALES is not SALES MANAGER even when filers meant a department head.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. SALES is not a NAICS wholesale extract. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Sales filter

Subtract the New Jersey dollars on this page from the national SALES occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded SALES in every other state combined. That remainder ($67,641,665) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 643 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 16,057 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,962,030 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the SALES national total, drops a key. Six hundred forty-three donors producing 16,057 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,962,030 headline.

Sales donations holds the $70,603,695 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. Pennsylvania has a separate Sales occupation-state tie in this same slice; do not add those dollars here.
