Occupation versus banking industry

Industry pages group employer categories. A banker at a regional bank and a banker at a diversified financial firm can share this occupation string and split across industries. Adding occupation and industry dollars double-counts.

FINANCE, INVESTOR, and MANAGING DIRECTOR are neighboring occupation keys. A combined “Wall Street” headline would mix strings the FEC file kept apart.
