Self Employed and Texas as about one-tenth of the occupation

Occupation SELF EMPLOYED and donor state TX produce $3,689,030, 15,031 contributions, and 685 donors. The occupation hub is $36,457,822, 169,112 contributions, and 7,177 donors. Texas’s dollar share is 10.1%; contribution share 8.9% (15,031 of 169,112); donor share 9.5% (685 of 7,177). A 10.1% Texas dollar share of a $36.5 million Self Employed book is a sizable state slice on this extract.

Do not stack SELF EMPLOYED with SELF-EMPLOYED (hyphenated), BUSINESS OWNER, and ENTREPRENEUR into a single Texas professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. 685 Texas donors produced 15,031 contributions, about 21.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 23.6 rows per donor nationally. The arithmetic mean gift in this Texas cell is about $245, against about $216 nationwide.

SELF EMPLOYED as a real occupation label

SELF EMPLOYED is a filer-entered string. Hyphenated SELF-EMPLOYED, if stored as a different string, sits in another hub. BUSINESS OWNER is a sibling title, not this total. 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 Texas (TX).

685 Texas donors produced 15,031 contributions totaling $3,689,030. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. The leftover $32,768,792 is Self Employed-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Six hundred eighty-five Texas Self Employed donors

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only SELF EMPLOYED. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas sole proprietorship filing, and not a limit to Texas candidates. The Self Employed occupation hub without Texas still holds 89.9% of the $36,457,822.

Self Employed donations holds the $36,457,822 national occupation total. Texas 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.

Exact self as junk, BUSINESS OWNER, and awards

This page does not treat the grouping as the placeholder self or as an unemployment code. 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. SELF EMPLOYED is not a Texas self-employment tax file. Donor state TX is not recipient geography. Exact self, unemployed, and homemaker are placeholder labels skipped elsewhere. SELF EMPLOYED is a real longer name and is written here.

Subtract the Texas dollars on this page from the national SELF EMPLOYED occupation total and the difference is $32,768,792 still coded SELF EMPLOYED 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 685 is not a person-level audit. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join.
