Does $268,280 cover every 2012 gift from this field?

No. It covers itemized individual receipts whose occupation field matched BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE in cycle 2012. Blank occupation, nearby spellings, and unitemized gifts are outside the cell. Business Agent, Field Representative, and Union Rep are other keys. The matched sum is $268,280 from 707 receipts and 374 donors.

What share of Business Representative money is the 2012 cycle?

4.8%: $268,280 divided by the occupation total $5,630,964. Other cycles hold $5,362,684 (95.2%). That share is not a share of all FEC 2012 receipts. The cycle hub has no national total in this packet.

Is 2012 a calendar year of Business Representative giving?

It is the FEC two-year presidential cycle tagged 2012, not January-only filings. Odd-year receipts inside that window can sit in $268,280 if they carried BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE. This file does not split those years. Counts: 707 contributions, 374 donors.

Where should a reader go after this Business Representative overlay?

The Business Representative occupation page for other cycles, the 2012 election cycle page for other occupations, all occupations for neighboring strings, and all FEC ties for other joins. This page stays on BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE × 2012 = $268,280.

Business Representative money in the 2012 cycle

That overlap is 4.8% of $5,630,964 stored for Business Representative across harvested cycles. Cite FEC.gov. The join explains the relationship between occupation and cycle; it does not restack either parent hub’s full table.

2012 receipts tagged Business Representative

Two filters produce $268,280: occupation equals BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE, and cycle equals 2012. Drop either filter and the number is no longer this cell. The occupation hub still holds $5,630,964. The 2012 hub still holds every other occupation. Only this path keeps both filters on.

Internal paths stay on the packet list: the Business Representative occupation page, the 2012 cycle page, the occupations index, and the ties index. Those four hrefs are the only internal links this overlay uses. No committee pages are in the packet.

374 donor keys are identities in the harvest, not published names. 707 is a line count. Repeat gifts raise the line count without raising the unique-donor count. This page does not list those identities.

The occupation string BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE

Business Representative as a self-reported occupation is filer-entered on FEC.gov. LobbyVault does not verify payroll. Keep the 2012 overlap separate from other even-year Business Representative joins. Line counts and donor counts here belong to cycle 2012 only. The 4.8% ratio is $268,280 divided by $5,630,964.

This join does not recode BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE into a 2012 union-election file or a chamber-of-commerce roster. BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE is the typed title. This 2012 cell is not the 2008 Business Representative cell. Employer type is unpublished. Quote the occupation total and the cycle cell as two different numbers.

374 Business Representative donor keys in 2012

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for Business Representative. This packet does not publish names. A mean of $379 per itemized line and $717 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median.

A small or large mean is not a ranking of Business Representative against other occupations. This packet has no other occupation’s 2012 total. Quote 707 and 374 with $268,280.

The two-year 2012 window

FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2012 covers that even-year presidential window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $268,280. This packet does not split those years.

The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards. FEC individual receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets even when geography overlaps.

Business Representative labels and neighboring strings

Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods without this occupation string, and bundled contributions that never carried BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE are outside $268,280. Independent expenditures are outside $268,280. Quote the cell as itemized individual receipts only.

Employer text is a different FEC field from occupation. This overlay does not group by employer. A workplace name in a searcher’s head is not a packet fact.

Limits of the Business Representative × 2012 overlay

Use every listed hub: Business Representative donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Those pages hold the neighboring cuts. This overlay holds the intersection $268,280.

The two tables that meet are Business Representative donations ($5,630,964 for the string) and the 2012 election cycle. The overlap is $268,280. All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle cells.

The occupation string BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE is copied from the FEC occupation field without a Bureau of Labor Statistics recode. Business Representative in 2012 remains $268,280 on 707 itemized lines from 374 donor keys. Neighboring English is a different row.

Readers who need committee names should leave this overlay and open the Business Representative occupation hub or the 2012 election-cycle hub. Those hubs are linked. This file does not invent committee names, donor names, or award recipients. $268,280 is an individual-contribution sum.

Itemization thresholds mean small gifts can exist outside $268,280. The packet does not estimate that omitted tail. Independent expenditures are a different FEC form class and are omitted from the Business Representative × 2012 cell. Unitemized receipts are omitted.

The remainder $5,362,684 belongs to other harvested cycles under the same occupation string. This page does not name those other years because they are not packet fields. Quote 2012 only for $268,280.

Self-reported occupation is not verified employment. A filer can type BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE while holding a different payroll title. The harvest groups on the typed string. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates remain the source.
