$1,024,590 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation grouping Psychologist. FEC.gov aggregates count 856 contributions from 254 donors. The same string totals $26,651,726 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 3.8% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a health-care NAICS total and not a psychology PAC.
Key figures
- Psychologist × 2008 is $1,024,590 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 856 contributions from 254 donors.
- 2008 is about 3.8% of the grouping’s $26,651,726 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text, not a health-care NAICS total and not a psychology PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Psychologist as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Psychologist and 2008 — sum to $1,024,590. 856 itemized contributions and 254 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 Psychologist hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Psychologist is a self-reported title, not a state psychology-board roster. Two hundred fifty-four donors and 856 lines in 2008 matched that word. PSYCHIATRIST is a neighboring clinical title with its own key. Practice names typed as employer sit elsewhere. PSYCHIATRIST, THERAPIST, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, and named practices are other keys. This page is the one-word Psychologist string.
3.8% of the Psychologist roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $26,651,726 ($26.7 million). The 2008 slice of $1,024,590 is about 3.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.2% ($25,627,136). Treating 2008 as the Psychologist FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $26,651,726 as the denominator for the 3.8% 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 $26,651,726.
