Business Manager occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

2012 inside the Business Manager occupation book

Apply the Business Manager filter to the 2012 election cycle and the remaining money is $840,243. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 996 contributions and 475 donors. The overlay at the occupation path lists the relationship; the cycle hub lists the year without this filter.

Business Manager is a management-title occupation string, not a manager-license file. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 475 unique donors matched the stored string in 2012. Repeat gifts can raise 996 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Business Manager total of $8,721,770 still includes other windows. Citing $8,721,770 as if it were 2012 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2012 hub as if it were Business Manager-only would overstate the year.

The $8,721,770 occupation stack

The occupation hub holds $8,721,770. This cycle accounts for $840,243 (9.6%). The leftover $7,881,527 is other even-year windows. That leftover is not missing data; it is a different filter.

Citing $8,721,770 as if 2012 received all of it would overstate this join by $7,881,527. Business Manager remains a management-title occupation string, not a manager-license file. The 9.6% ratio is $840,243 divided by $8,721,770. Other even-year joins for BUSINESS MANAGER are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $7,881,527. Citing 2012 as if it were the Business Manager lifetime total would overstate this cell by $7,881,527.

Itemized count versus unique donors

Contribution count (996) and donor count (475) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $840,243 is their dollar sum.

If a searcher wants names, the hubs are the next stop, not invented biographies. This JSON file reports 475 donors without listing them. A mean of $844 per itemized line and $1,769 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 996 contributions remaining larger than 475 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

9.6% in 2012, 90.4% elsewhere

9.6% of stored Business Manager money is tagged 2012 ($840,243). 90.4% is not ($7,881,527). Both percentages use $8,721,770 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2012 so $8,721,770 is not mistaken for a two-year number. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $840,243 if they were itemized against BUSINESS MANAGER. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from the packet: recipient names, party split, unitemized totals, PAC disbursements, and any USAspending figure. Present: $840,243, 996 contributions, 475 donors, $8,721,770 lifetime, cycle 2012, string BUSINESS MANAGER.

Self-reported fields create split spellings. MANAGER, GENERAL MANAGER, and OFFICE MANAGER remain other keys. $840,243 does not absorb them. Business Manager as a management-title occupation string, not a manager-license file can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $840,243. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards.

What to carry forward from this packet

Carry forward $840,243, 996, 475, 9.6%, $8,721,770, and the string BUSINESS MANAGER. Leave behind invented recipients, party shares, and contract dollars. The source note is FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

$844 per contribution and $1,769 per donor are derived means. Label them as such. A management-title occupation string, not a manager-license file remains the right description of the grouping. Quote both keys: Business Manager and 2012. Quote the dollars: $840,243. Quote the volume: 996 contributions, 475 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them. Restating the join without new numbers: Business Manager in 2012 is $840,243 from 996 itemized individual contributions and 475 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $8,721,770 across cycles, so 2012 is about 9.6% and other windows hold $7,881,527 (90.4%). The grouping is a management-title occupation string, not a manager-license file, not a managers PAC, an HR headcount, or Manager stored as a shorter key. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $844; mean per donor about $1,769; about 2.1 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $840,243.
