Key figures
- Geologist in 2012: $252,137 on 232 receipts from 78 harvested donors.
- Geologist all-cycle grouping in this extract: $4,306,318.
- 2012 is 5.9% of that grouping total — a year cut, not the parent.
- Employer labels are filer-entered. Cycle dollars are not federal awards.
Geologist as occupation, 2012 as the cycle
The parent grouping indexes $4,306,318 ($4.31 million rounded). 2012’s $252,137 is 5.9% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $252,137. Do not invent a 2010 or 2014 total from these facts. The leftover $4,054,181 sits in other harvested years under the same Geologist key.
This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Geologist and even-year election cycle 2012. $252,137 is the intersection. $4,306,318 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 232 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 78 (78 harvested donors). LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.
Seventy-eight donors on 232 itemized lines
In 2012, receipts tagged GEOLOGIST sum to $252,137 on 232 itemized lines from 78 harvested donors. About $1,087 per receipt is $252,137 divided by 232. About $3,233 per harvested donor is $252,137 divided by 78. Lines per donor average about 3.0. FEC even-year cycles run through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.
