Software occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

SOFTWARE matched to FEC cycle 2014

Schedule A lines that stored occupation SOFTWARE and cycle 2014 aggregate to $145,062. Count of lines: 172. Count of donor keys: 75. Mean gift $843; mean per donor $1,934. Those four integers and two means are the quantitative core. SOFTWARE in 2014 is $145,062 from 172 receipts and 75 donors — 1.9% of $7,732,451. That is a thinner slice than the 2012 Software cell already published on this site, and it is still not Software Engineer.

One-word industry label, not a person-title is the right description of the grouping. The FEC does not verify licenses. Software engineer, software developer, programmer, and software executive are not folded into $145,062. Unitemized gifts never enter the cell.

Where $7,587,389 still sits

Most of the Software string is not this cycle: $7,587,389 of $7,732,451 sits outside 2014. Cite 1.9% only as this window’s slice of the occupation roll.

Other Software cycle cells are separate harvests. Cite each cycle’s packet rather than averaging them. This packet’s cycle total is $145,062.

Means on $145,062: $843 and $1,934

Derived means travel with the counts: $843 per contribution, $1,934 per donor. Label them as arithmetic. They are not typical salaries and not a party split.

The 2014 cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell. This tie keeps Software on so those other titles are not mixed into $145,062.

What this join refuses to claim

This join refuses donor names not in the packet, refuses a party split not in the packet, and refuses any claim that FEC itemized gifts fund USAspending awards. What it reports is $145,062 from 172 contributions and 75 donors for Software in 2014.

If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live occupation and cycle hubs control. This prose is a packet snapshot of the two-dimension cell.

The denominator $7,732,451 is every cycle stored for SOFTWARE, not revenue and not assets. $145,062 over $7,732,451 is about 1.9%. The leftover $7,587,389 is other even-year windows on the Software hub.

Means: $843 per itemized contribution, $1,934 per unique donor, 2.3 contributions per donor. Report them as arithmetic on $145,062, 172, and 75. They are not medians.

What to carry forward from this packet

Carry forward $145,062, 172, 75, 1.9%, $7,732,451, and the string SOFTWARE. Leave behind invented recipients, party shares, and contract dollars. The source note is FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle.

$843 per contribution and $1,934 per donor are derived means. Label them as such. One-word industry label, not a person-title remains the right description of the grouping.

2014 as a cycle tag includes the odd year paired with that even year. This packet does not split those years. $145,062 is the two-year cell.

PAC filings sit outside $145,062. So do independent expenditures and unitemized gifts. So do USAspending obligations. The page is one-word industry label, not a person-title, not a BLS software-employment census, a GitHub headcount, or a tech PAC.

Live tables versus this snapshot

This JSON is a packet snapshot. Amended filings move $145,062 and $7,732,451. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Software donations and the live 2014 election cycle pages are the tables.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $145,062.

Citation order that preserves the join: dollars first ($145,062), then both keys (Software, 2014), then volume (172 contributions, 75 donors), then source (FEC.gov).

The occupation string SOFTWARE is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class or a NAICS code. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Cycle 2014 is a two-year FEC tag. Itemized receipts from both years of that window sit in $145,062 if they carried this occupation string.

Unique donors in this packet number 75. This file does not publish names for those keys. Repeat gifts explain why contributions (172) exceed donor keys.

Unitemized gifts never enter $145,062. Independent expenditures, committee transfers, and USAspending awards are other tables and other datasets.

Cite both sides of the join whenever the dollars are quoted: occupation SOFTWARE and cycle 2014, then $145,062, source FEC.gov.

All occupations lists sibling titles without summing them into this cell. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Use those indexes to move, not to add dollar figures.

Questions

How much did Software-tagged donors give in 2014?

The join records $145,062 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Software in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 172 contributions and 75 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $7,732,451, so 2014 is 1.9% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does 2014 dominate the Software roll?

No. 1.9% of stored Software dollars is tagged 2014 ($145,062 of $7,732,451). $7,587,389 remains on the occupation hub. That ratio uses packet facts only and is not a ranking of civic engagement. Source: FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts.

Does this count every software who donated in 2014?

No. The 75 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to SOFTWARE in 2014. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $145,062 on 172 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 2014 tables?

Software donations carries the $7,732,451 occupation total. The 2014 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 × 2014 intersection only.
