Banker occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Banker as occupation, 2014 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string BANKER. The other is the 2014 federal election cycle. The match is $3,933,335, built from 3,984 contributions and 2,100 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. The 2014 midterm cell sits below the occupation’s all-cycle total by a wide margin. Two thousand donors and nearly four thousand gifts spread the dollars; this is not a seven-donor concentration.

Average contribution is about $987; average per donor is about $1,873. Those means are arithmetic on the 2014 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 1.9 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

BANKER is not INVESTMENT BANKER

BANKER is the one-word occupation string. INVESTMENT BANKER is a two-word key with its own 2012 and 2014 cells. Retail, commercial, and private-bank titles collapse here only if the filer typed BANKER.

$58,732,088 is every cycle combined for BANKER. $3,933,335 in 2014 is about 6.7% of that stack. Other windows hold about 93.3% ($54,798,753). A cycle cell at 6.7% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. INVESTMENT BANKER, FINANCE, and FINANCIAL ANALYST are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

2,100 donors and 3,984 gifts in 2014

2,100 unique donors against 3,984 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2014 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $3,933,335.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode BANKER into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2014 cycle hub.

About 6.7% of a $58.7 million occupation stack

6.7% is $3,933,335 divided by $58,732,088. Reading only 2014 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 6.7%. The leftover outside 2014 is $54,798,753. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2014 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $58,732,088 is shared.

What a Banker–2014 join cannot claim

Do not add BANKER 2014 to INVESTMENT BANKER 2014 without showing both source totals. Do not treat the cell as bank CRA activity or as a Federal Reserve filing.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $3,933,335, 3,984 contributions, and 2,100 donors for Banker in 2014. Cite $58,732,088 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Banker and 2014 tables

Banker donations is the occupation hub behind $58,732,088. The 2014 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $3,933,335, 3,984 gifts, or 2,100 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string BANKER attached to $3,933,335 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2014. Keep 3,984 contributions and 2,100 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Banker in 2014 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $58,732,088 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did Banker-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Banker grouping’s 2014 cell is $3,933,335 in itemized individual contributions, from 3,984 contributions and 2,100 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $58,732,088 all-cycle occupation total.

Is Investment Banker inside this Banker total?

No. This cell is the self-reported string BANKER matched to cycle 2014. INVESTMENT BANKER, FINANCE, and FINANCIAL ANALYST are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the Banker occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of Banker FEC money fell in 2014?

About 6.7%. $3,933,335 divided by $58,732,088 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 93.3% ($54,798,753) on the occupation hub. See the Banker occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Does this count every bank employee?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $3,933,335 is itemized receipts tagged BANKER in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
