Sector phrase used as a job title

$7,119,440, 14,435 itemizations, and 1,146 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $493. Mean dollars per donor record are about $6,212. Repeat giving is about 13 itemizations per donor record.

14,435 lines from 1,146 records is a mid-volume sector-phrase stack. The $493 per-line mean sits near other finance occupation keys. The packet has no broker-versus-banker split, no Series license field, and no median gift.

1,146 donor records on 14,435 lines is a mid-volume sector-phrase pool: about 13 itemizations per record. The $493 per-line mean sits near other finance occupation keys and above CONTROLLER. The packet has no broker-versus-banker split, no license field, and no party flag, so $7,119,440 cannot be read as a licensed-advisor census.

FINANCIAL SERVICES is not BANKER and not FINANCIAL ADVISOR

The FEC record does not verify that the donor works at a bank, broker-dealer, or insurance firm. Advisors, operations staff, and retirees can all type FINANCIAL SERVICES. Best-efforts rules do not force a FINRA taxonomy.

This page cites only $7,119,440, 14,435 contributions, and 1,146 donors. BANKER, FINANCIAL ADVISOR, and INVESTMENT BANKER remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them. Combining those strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC occupation to a homemade cluster.
