Banking occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Banking as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation BANKING and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,197,961, 982 contributions, and 486 donors. BANKING on a 2012 receipt is a one-word industry title, not a named depository. FEC.gov stores the typed string. The occupation hub is $9,515,899 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2012 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2012’s dollar share is 12.6% ($1,197,961 of $9,515,899). The remainder, $8,317,938, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Hundreds of donor keys and nearly a thousand lines is a mid-scale industry-title cell, not a handful of officers. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,197,961.

The BANKING string across every cycle on file

$9,515,899 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2012. Banker, Investment Banking, and Finance are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $9,515,899 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Banking donations for the $9,515,899 roll. Open the 2012 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

486 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $1,197,961 by 982 contributions yields about $1,220 per gift. Dividing by 486 donors yields about $2,465 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (982 ÷ 486). Those ratios describe this string in 2012, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

486 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2012. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 486 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2012 receipts beside this cell. A bank holding-company PAC is a committee page, not this occupation-cycle cell. Do not fold those receipts into the BANKING string.

What a 2012 Banking share is not

A 12.6% share of Banking-coded dollars from 2012 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $1,197,961 as itemized individual receipts tagged BANKING in 2012, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Banking × 2012

A complete claim names Banking and 2012, then $1,197,961, 982 contributions, 486 donors, and 12.6% of $9,515,899, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 486 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Banking and 2012—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,220 and mean per donor $2,465 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Banker as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $8,317,938 outside 2012. Most of the $9,515,899 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Banker, Investment Banking, and Finance are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of BANKING on this page. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.0. That ratio is 982 divided by 486, not a measure of turnout.
