$724,800 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation grouping Investment Banker. FEC.gov aggregates count 452 contributions from 112 donors. The same string totals $10,972,200 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.6% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a securities NAICS total and not an investment-bank PAC.
Key figures
- Investment Banker × 2008 is $724,800 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 452 contributions from 112 donors.
- 2008 is about 6.6% of the grouping’s $10,972,200 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text, not a securities NAICS total and not an investment-bank PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Investment 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 — Investment Banker and 2008 — sum to $724,800. 452 itemized contributions and 112 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 Investment Banker hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Investment Banker is a two-word occupation, not a FINRA roster. One hundred twelve donors and 452 lines in 2008 matched those words. The shorter BANKER key is a different grouping. Named banks typed as employer sit on firm pages. BANKER, TRADER, named banks (LEHMAN BROTHERS, CITIGROUP, DEUTSCHE BANK, FIRST BOSTON CORP), and generic FINANCE titles are other keys.
6.6% of the Investment Banker roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $10,972,200 ($11.0 million). The 2008 slice of $724,800 is about 6.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.4% ($10,247,400). Treating 2008 as the Investment Banker FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $10,972,200 as the denominator for the 6.6% 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 $10,972,200.
