Self Employed political contributions from New York

Self Employed and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation SELF EMPLOYED and donor state NY produce $3,015,767, 11,138 contributions, and 520 donors. The occupation hub is $36,457,822, 169,112 contributions, and 7,177 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 8.3%; contribution share about 6.6% (11,138 of 169,112); donor share about 7.2% (520 of 7,177). Five hundred twenty New York donors are about 7.2% of 7,177 national donors; 11,138 contributions are about 6.6% of 169,112 national rows; dollars are about 8.3% of $36,457,822.

OWNER, ENTREPRENEUR, and BUSINESS OWNER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Self Employed total. Do not stack SELF EMPLOYED with OWNER or ENTREPRENEUR into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

520 New York donors produced 11,138 contributions, about 21.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 23.6 rows per donor nationally (169,112 contributions from 7,177 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $271, against about $216 nationwide. New York’s about 8.3% share of $36,457,822 from 520 people is a many-person slice of a high-row occupation, not a sole-proprietor census.

SELF EMPLOYED as a longer occupation label

SELF EMPLOYED is a filer-entered string. The grouping is SELF EMPLOYED as typed. Exact self, unemployed, and homemaker are different placeholders and are not this hub. The FEC file does not verify a sole-proprietor registration. The $36,457,822 national total is SELF EMPLOYED only. 7,177 donors produced 169,112 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 169,112 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New York (NY). One hundred sixty-nine thousand one hundred twelve national contributions make this a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York on the state side

520 New York donors produced 11,138 contributions totaling $3,015,767. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York business license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,015,767.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only SELF EMPLOYED. The Self Employed occupation hub without New York still holds about 91.7% of the $36,457,822. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. SELF EMPLOYED is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not merge OWNER dollars, treat the string as unemployed, or claim that Self Employed-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. SELF EMPLOYED is not ENTREPRENEUR even when filers meant a one-person shop. It is also not the junk label exact self.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. SELF EMPLOYED is not a sole-proprietor registry. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names and NAICS codes are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Self Employed filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national SELF EMPLOYED occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded SELF EMPLOYED in every other state combined. That remainder ($33,442,055) 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 520 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 11,138 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,015,767 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the SELF EMPLOYED national total, drops a key. Five hundred twenty donors producing 11,138 contributions totaling $3,015,767 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
