Sales political contributions from Ohio

Sales and Ohio as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation SALES and donor state OH produce $2,074,786, 9,328 contributions, and 539 donors. The occupation hub is $70,603,695, 384,165 contributions, and 16,747 donors. Ohio’s dollar share is about 2.9%; contribution share about 2.4% (9,328 of 384,165); donor share about 3.2% (539 of 16,747). Five hundred thirty-nine Ohio donors are about 3.2% of 16,747 national donors; 9,328 contributions are about 2.4% of 384,165 national rows; dollars are about 2.9% 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 Ohio professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

539 Ohio donors produced 9,328 contributions, about 17.3 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 Ohio cell is about $222, against about $184 nationwide. Ohio’s about 2.9% share of $70,603,695 from 9,328 rows is a modest slice of a 384,165-row one-word occupation.

SALES as a one-word workplace string

SALES is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not assign a NAICS code, a product line, or a commission structure. The single word on the form is the filter. 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 Ohio (OH). Sixteen thousand seven hundred forty-seven national donors make SALES a high-volume bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state OH.

Ohio as the Sales donor-state stamp

539 Ohio donors produced 9,328 contributions totaling $2,074,786. Donor state OH is the address on the record, not proof of a Ohio license, and not a limit to Ohio candidates. OH is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Ohio employer, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,074,786.

The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only SALES. The Sales occupation hub without Ohio still holds about 97.1% of the $70,603,695. Ohio’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to OH. SALES is only this filter.

What the Sales–Ohio join is not

This page does not count a sales force, merge Sales Manager dollars, 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 selling job.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. SALES is not a NAICS retail census. Donor state OH 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 Ohio 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 ($68,528,909) 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 539 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 9,328 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,074,786 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Ohio dollars, or only the SALES national total, drops a key. Five hundred thirty-nine donors producing 9,328 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,074,786 headline.

All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Ohio is the only Sales occupation-state pair in this slice; other states’ Sales cells live on other URLs.
