Communications occupation money in the 2008 cycle

The Communications and 2008 join

The intersection is $292,769 for Communications in 2008. Occupation matching is exact on COMMUNICATIONS. Cycle matching is the FEC two-year tag 2008. Communications Specialist, Media Relations, and Public Affairs are not added into $292,769. Recoding the string into a press-secretary roster or a corporate-comms org chart would invent a crosswalk the packet does not contain.

Open Communications donations for other cycles under COMMUNICATIONS. Open the 2008 election cycle for other occupations that year. All occupations is the index of title strings. All FEC ties is the index of two-table overlays including this one.

No party share, no top committee, and no employer list appear in the facts. $292,769 is an occupation-cycle sum of itemized individual receipts. Naming a committee or a donor here would be invention. Use the parent hubs for those cuts if they exist there.

What Communications does not mean on this page

The occupation total $6,851,742 is a sum over cycles, not a 2008 figure. $292,769 is the 2008 chapter. COMMUNICATIONS is the typed title. The 2008 cycle is a separate two-year window from later Communications cells. Specialty is unpublished. Combining neighboring strings without naming each source total mixes keys.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered. If a researcher needs a license or NAICS crosswalk, they start from the raw string COMMUNICATIONS, not from a recode invented here.

Volume: 409 lines, 185 identities

409 itemized contributions and 185 unique donors sit behind $292,769. Average gift size is about $716; average dollars per donor about $1,583; lines per donor about 2.2. Averages hide skew.

Open the occupation and cycle hubs for related tables; do not invent names here. 409 contributions remaining larger than 185 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once. Skew is unpublished because no median is in the facts.

2008 as a slice of $6,851,742

$6,851,742 is the all-cycle total stored for COMMUNICATIONS. Subtract $292,769 and $6,558,973 remains in other cycles (95.7%). 2008 therefore accounts for about 4.3% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other occupations.

The 2008 hub is the place to see every other occupation string that year. This page keeps the Communications filter on. Communications as typed can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $292,769.

What $292,769 excludes

$292,769 is individual contributions tagged Communications in 2008. Association committee filings file as committees. See Communications donations or the 2008 election cycle hub for committee names if those tables publish them. They are not in this packet.

A one-word 2008 communications total is not a media-company census. Do not fold later-cycle Communications dollars into this cell. Cite the 2008 overlap only. Committee independent expenditures and PAC operating expenditures are other FEC form classes. They are not folded into 409 individual lines.
