  • ANALYST itemizations sum to $21,535,032 from 95,588 contributions and 3,688 donors.
  • The noun is ambiguous self-reported text, not a CFA or intelligence-community census.

Analyst is not a Wall Street census

The FEC occupation column does not split equity analysts from intelligence analysts or data analysts. Researchers who need one of those senses must use employer text; this overlay does not invent that split.
