2014 FEC cycle — Social Worker occupation totals

Both filters: SOCIAL WORKER and cycle 2014

The 2014 × Social Worker join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $537,576 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation SOCIAL WORKER and cycle 2014 at the same time. 847 is the matching line count. 300 is the matching donor-key count. $16,549,179 is what remains when the cycle filter is lifted for the same occupation string.

Dividing $537,576 by 847 yields about $635 per contribution. Dividing by 300 yields about $1,792 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.8 (847 ÷ 300). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

Occupation is not a license check. SOCIAL WORKER is the occupation string. LCSW and Counselor are other keys. Clinical versus school versus case-management work is unpublished. Independent expenditures and USAspending tables do not feed $537,576. Source: FEC.gov.

How FEC stores Social Worker as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged SOCIAL WORKER, summing to $16,549,179 across harvested cycles, of which $537,576 is the 2014 cell. What it excludes: other occupation strings, unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee filings that are not individual contribution aggregates.

Mean about $1,792 per donor in 2014 should be quoted with both inputs ($537,576 and 300). Dropping 300 turns the mean into an unsourced claim. SOCIAL WORKER is the occupation string. LCSW and Counselor are other keys. Clinical versus school versus case-management work is unpublished.

Per-gift and per-donor dollars in 2014

About $635 per contribution is $537,576 divided by 847. About $1,792 per donor is $537,576 divided by 300. About 2.8 gifts per donor is 847 divided by 300. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

2014 as a midterm cycle dates the window. Live occupation hubs can move as amended individual reports arrive. If a live hub disagrees with $537,576 or $16,549,179, the newer FEC extract controls.

$537,576 versus $16,549,179

Never write that Social Worker gave $16,549,179 in 2014. $16,549,179 is the all-cycle occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only year is 2014 unless 3.2% is 100%, which it is not here. $537,576 is the 2014 cell. The two columns are labeled cycleTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

3.2% is the only legitimate bridge between the columns. It is a quotient, not a second source. Independent expenditures still sit outside both columns.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

USAspending publishes federal obligations by agency and place. FEC publishes campaign finance. $537,576 does not become an award total because a year appears in both systems. $16,549,179 does not become an award total because an occupation string can be compared with a NAICS title in a researcher’s head. This page never claims receipts funded federal awards.

Internal links remain the four packet hrefs only. No other path is cited. Independent expenditures remain outside the dollar columns used here. SOCIAL WORKER is the occupation string. LCSW and Counselor are other keys. Clinical versus school versus case-management work is unpublished.

Why this page is not a Social Worker directory

This page is not a directory of Social Worker professionals, not a membership list, and not a social-work license roster, a NASW membership file, or clinical advice. 300 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $537,576.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Social Worker donations, the 2014 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. No other URL is cited. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Social Worker, cycle 2014, $537,576 itemized, 847 contributions, 300 donors, 3.2% of $16,549,179. SOCIAL WORKER is the occupation string. LCSW and Counselor are other keys. Clinical versus school versus case-management work is unpublished. Counselor, Therapist, Case Manager, and LCSW stay on other occupation pages. The 2014 election cycle hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $537,576: treat it as payroll, treat 300 as a workforce census, treat 3.2% as a share of 2014 national receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $635 per contribution and $1,792 per donor remain attached to 847 and 300. About 2.8 lines per donor remains 847 divided by 300.
