BANKER

Banker as stored text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Banker and 2008 — sum to $928,253. 844 itemized contributions and 181 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Banker hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Banker as a one-word occupation can collect commercial bankers, private bankers, and anyone who typed the word. One hundred eighty-one donors in 2008 produced 844 lines. INVESTMENT BANKER is a longer title with its own cell. Named banks typed as employer sit on firm pages. INVESTMENT BANKER, BANK OF AMERICA, CITIGROUP, DEUTSCHE BANK, and generic BANK occupation strings are other keys.

6.8% of the Banker roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $13,677,025 ($13.7 million). The 2008 slice of $928,253 is about 6.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.2% ($12,748,772). Treating 2008 as the Banker FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $13,677,025 as the denominator for the 6.8% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $13,677,025.

Questions

How much did Banker donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $928,253 in itemized individual contributions for the Banker grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 844 contributions and 181 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $13,677,025 all-cycle figure.

What share of Banker FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $13,677,025. The 2008 cell of $928,253 is about 6.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.2% ($12,748,772) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Banker hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed Banker donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Banker. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2008 only, totaling $928,253 from 181 donors.

Where is the overlay for the Banker 2008 join?

Open Banker 2008 for the cycle overlay, Banker for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
