Software Engineer donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Software Engineer × 2010

SOFTWARE ENGINEER plus cycle 2010 equals $638,920. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2010. Programmer, Software Developer, and Computer Programmer are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a BLS SOC extract or an ACM membership file. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the occupation total $64,582,668 and the remainder $63,943,748.

Parent hubs: Software Engineer donations at /occupations/software-engineer/ and the 2010 election cycle at /election-cycles/2010/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $638,920 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell. 1.0% of $64,582,668 is a small slice of a large occupation roll. Most Software Engineer-coded dollars sit outside 2010 on the occupation hub.

SOFTWARE ENGINEER as typed, not a BLS SOC extract or an ACM membership file

$64,582,668 belongs to the exact string SOFTWARE ENGINEER across harvested cycles. It is not a BLS SOC extract or an ACM membership file. People who wrote nearby wording — Programmer, Software Developer, and Computer Programmer — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2010 slice is 1.0% of that title bucket.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $638,920. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $64,582,668. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Software Engineer donations and the live 2010 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell.

1,154 software engineer receipts in 2010

520 donors and 1,154 receipts — about 2.2 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $554; mean per donor about $1,229. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. No median is published in this packet.

Neither 520 nor 1,154 is a census of every software engineer who donated. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $638,920. Programmer, Software Developer, and Computer Programmer are other occupation keys.

Occupation versus PAC and a BLS SOC extract or an ACM membership file

Cite $638,920 as Software Engineer in 2010. Cite $64,582,668 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add a tech-employer PAC or an industry-association committee to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $638,920 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 1.0%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode SOFTWARE ENGINEER into a BLS SOC extract or an ACM membership file. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. A midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite software engineer money in 2010

A clean footnote names occupation SOFTWARE ENGINEER, election cycle 2010, $638,920 in itemized individual contributions, 1,154 receipts, and 520 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $554 per line and $1,229 per donor in the cell. If the live Software Engineer donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,154 as unique workers in the trade.

Repeat the four numbers together: $638,920 in the 2010 cycle, 1,154 contributions, 520 donors, and 1.0% of $64,582,668. That sentence is the join. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 2.2. That ratio is 1,154 divided by 520, not a measure of turnout.

Why this tie page is not either hub

Programmer, Software Developer, and Computer Programmer are neighboring strings, not parents of this cell. Opening those occupation hubs and adding their dollars to $64,582,668 would mix keys. All occupations is the index for those other strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pages, including other years for Software Engineer when those files exist.

Do not rank Software Engineer against other occupations from this packet. The packet has one occupation total and one cycle cell. Rankings would require other occupation totals that are not facts here. Stop at $638,920 tagged Software Engineer in 2010.

Questions

How much did software engineer filers donate in 2010?

The join records $638,920 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Software Engineer in the 2010 FEC cycle, from 1,154 contributions and 520 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $64,582,668, so 2010 is 1.0% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this include a tech-employer PAC or an industry-association committee?

No. $638,920 is individual contributions tagged Software Engineer in 2010. Committee PACs file as committees. Mixing PAC spending with $638,920 would blend FEC tables. See Software Engineer donations or the 2010 election cycle hub for committee names. Software Engineer in 2010 is $638,920 on 1,154 receipts from 520 donors.

Are software engineer labels standardized on FEC forms?

No. FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This join uses SOFTWARE ENGINEER. Programmer, Software Developer, and Computer Programmer are other occupation keys. LobbyVault does not recode the string into a BLS SOC extract or an ACM membership file. Cite $638,920 for this title in 2010 on 1,154 receipts from 520 donors.

What two tables meet on this page?

Software Engineer donations ($64,582,668 for the string) and the 2010 election cycle. The overlap is $638,920 from 1,154 receipts and 520 donors. All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle cells. All occupations lists neighboring titles. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates for Software Engineer in 2010.
