Why USPS and 2014 share a page

USPS pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2014 pages without this string mix every employer and occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $431,066 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged USPS in 2014. 1,055 contributions and 486 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored employer label is postal-service employer text. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. The postal service as an agency treasury, a postal union pac, or usaspending postal contracts would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $8,027,435 on the industry hub and keep the 2014 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $431,066.

2014 as a slice of $8,027,435

$8,027,435 is the all-cycle total stored for USPS. Subtract $431,066 and $7,596,369 remains in other cycles (94.6%). 2014 therefore accounts for about 5.4% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.

Do not read 5.4% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2014 campaign. It is $431,066 divided by $8,027,435. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 5.4% ratio is $431,066 divided by $8,027,435. Other even-year joins for USPS are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $7,596,369. Citing 2014 as if it were the USPS lifetime total would overstate this cell by $7,596,369.
