THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC
Occupation Investment Banker accounts for $3.1 million ($3,148,488) to THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00350744). 4,011 itemized receipts sit in the join, mean $785.

INVESTMENT BANKER as typed
The occupation-wide total is $30,023,152. Banker and I-banker can exist as other strings. They are not inside $30,023,152 unless stored as INVESTMENT BANKER. Firm name is a different FEC field from occupation.
