Two dimensions meet here: the occupation string Social Worker and the 2008 election cycle. The meeting is $426,321, built from 391 contributions and 114 donors on FEC.gov. Lifetime Social Worker storage is $6,567,509 (6.5% in this window). The page does not restate a hub; it explains the join — self-reported occupation, not a social-work PAC, a state-license census, or neighboring titles such as counselor stored as other keys.
Key figures
- Itemized individual total $426,321 at Social Worker × 2008.
- 391 lines / 114 identities (mean $1,090 per line).
- $6,567,509 is all cycles; $426,321 is 2008 only (6.5%).
- Grouping type: self-reported occupation.
- Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
Social Worker is one axis; 2008 is the other
An industry-cycle page is not a restatement of Social Worker and not a restatement of 2008. It is the cell where they meet: $426,321, 391 contributions, 114 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle are the source note.
On the occupation side, Social Worker is self-reported occupation. On the cycle side, 2008 is a two-year FEC window, not a single Election Day. Gifts dated in either year of that window sit in $426,321.
Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $6,567,509 is the lifetime Social Worker bucket. The 2008 hub is every grouping that year. The join is $426,321.
2008 is not the whole Social Worker story
Social Worker across all cycles is $6,567,509. Social Worker in 2008 is $426,321 — about 6.5%. The gap is $6,141,188. Closing that gap would require other cycle joins, which this packet does not list.
A reader who only opens the 2008 overlay still sees $426,321 for this string, not $6,567,509. A reader who only opens the industry hub still needs the year filter to recover $426,321. 2008 holds $426,321 of $6,567,509 for this string — about 6.5%. Other cycles hold $6,141,188 (93.5%). Folding those other cycles into a 2008 citation would misstate the record by $6,141,188.
