Key figures

  • New York Scientist-coded donors reported $2,601,242 across 10,910 contributions from 294 donors.
  • Nationwide SCIENTIST totals $26,806,625, so New York is about 9.7% of those dollars.
  • Mean gift in the New York cell is about $238; nationally the occupation mean is about $161.
  • 294 donors are not a workforce headcount; occupation labels are filer-entered.
  • Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by occupation and donor state.

Why Scientist and New York share a page

Scientist pages without a state mix every donor address. New York pages without this string mix every occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $2,601,242 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged SCIENTIST with donor state NY. 10,910 contributions and 294 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored occupation label is filer-entered. The Commission does not certify that each filer held that title or used a standardized job code. Research scientist, research, chemist, and physicist remain other keys. An NSF researcher census, a lab-staff payroll, or a publication-author list would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $26,806,625 on the occupation hub and keep the New York campaign-finance hub for the state without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $2,601,242. SCIENTIST is a generic title. Research scientist is a longer neighboring label. License numbers and lab affiliations are not in this packet.

SCIENTIST in New York, not a recode

$26,806,625 is the national total stored for SCIENTIST. Subtract $2,601,242 and $24,205,383 remains in other states (90.3%). New York therefore accounts for 9.7% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other occupations.

Do not read 9.7% as intensity, influence, or a planned New York campaign. It is $2,601,242 divided by $26,806,625. The occupation hub is where the other states live. SCIENTIST is a generic title. Research scientist is a longer neighboring label. License numbers and lab affiliations are not in this packet. Neighbors include research scientist, research, chemist, and physicist.

10,910 contributions from 294 donors

10,910 itemized contributions and 294 unique donors sit behind $2,601,242. Average gift size is about $238; average dollars per donor about $8,848; lines per donor about 37.1. Averages hide skew. 294 donors is a mid-size cell on this table.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and state. They are not staff headcount for Scientist. This packet does not publish names. Do not invent them here. SCIENTIST is a generic title. Research scientist is a longer neighboring label. License numbers and lab affiliations are not in this packet.

NY as the state dimension

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every stored occupation for donor state NY. Scientist is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a state-wide all-occupation denominator, so no statewide share is stated. Open New York campaign finance to drop the occupation filter and Scientist donations to drop the state.

Gifts from New York addresses can support committees anywhere. Donor state is not recipient geography. This join publishes the state-occupation total, the 10,910 contributions, the 294 unique donors, and the 9.7% share of $26,806,625. SCIENTIST is a generic title. Research scientist is a longer neighboring label. License numbers and lab affiliations are not in this packet.

Citation template for Scientist in New York

Citation template: Scientist, New York, $2,601,242, 10,910 contributions, 294 donors, 9.7% of $26,806,625, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string SCIENTIST.

The 9.7% share, the 294-donor count, and the $238 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.
