Software occupation money in the 2010 FEC cycle

Software as occupation, 2010 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation SOFTWARE and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $141,554, 143 contributions, and 65 donors. The occupation hub is $7,732,451 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet. The 2010 Software cell is $141,554 from 143 receipts and 65 donors (1.8% of $7,732,451). It is a midterm harvest of the same one-word string as the 2014 Software join, not Software Developer.

2010’s dollar share is 1.8% ($141,554 of $7,732,451). The remainder, $7,590,897, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 143 lines from 65 donors—about 2.2 gifts per person—is arithmetic on the packet, not a unique-person headcount of everyone who held the job. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $141,554.

Software’s 2010 share of the lifetime string

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,732,451. The 2010 slice of $141,554 is about 1.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.2%. Treating 2010 as the entire Software FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $7,732,451 as the denominator for the 1.8% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The occupation hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $7,732,451.

65 donors and about 2.2 gifts per donor

Dividing $141,554 by 143 contributions yields about $990 per gift. Dividing by 65 donors yields about $2,178 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.2 (143 ÷ 65). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

65 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2010. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 65 figure.

What 1.8% of Software-coded dollars is not

A 1.8% share of Software-coded dollars from 2010 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2010 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $141,554 as itemized individual receipts tagged SOFTWARE in 2010, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

The 1.8% ratio is $141,554 divided by $7,732,451. Other even-year joins for SOFTWARE are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $7,590,897. Citing 2010 as if it were the Software lifetime total would overstate this cell by $7,590,897.

A mean of $990 per itemized line and $2,178 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 143 contributions remaining larger than 65 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

How to cite Software × 2010

A complete claim names Software and 2010, then $141,554, 143 contributions, 65 donors, and 1.8% of $7,732,451, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 65 keys into licensed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Software and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $990 and mean per donor $2,178 travel with those counts.

FEC cycle 2010 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $141,554 if they were itemized against SOFTWARE. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Software engineer, software developer, programmer, and software executive remain other occupation keys if stored separately. They are not inside $141,554 or $7,732,451 unless the stored string was exactly SOFTWARE.

Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and neighboring titles

The occupation hub still holds $7,590,897 outside 2010. Most of the $7,732,451 roll is not this cycle’s cell. Software engineer, software developer, programmer, and software executive are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of SOFTWARE on this page. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 2.2. That ratio is 143 divided by 65, not a measure of turnout.

Quote both keys: Software and 2010. Quote the dollars: $141,554. Quote the volume: 143 contributions, 65 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave USAspending dollars and named donors out.

Questions

How much did Software-tagged donors give in 2010?

The join records $141,554 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Software in the 2010 FEC cycle, from 143 contributions and 65 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $7,732,451, so 2010 is 1.8% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

What share of Software FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,732,451. The 2010 cell of $141,554 is about 1.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 98.2% ($7,590,897) on the occupation hub. Do not treat 2010 as the whole Software story. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates by occupation and cycle.

Does this count every software who donated in 2010?

No. The 65 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to SOFTWARE in 2010. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $141,554 on 143 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate. Software engineer, software developer, programmer, and software executive are other keys if stored separately.

Where are the live Software and 2010 tables?

Software donations carries the $7,732,451 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle hub places Software beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Software × 2010 intersection only.
