Financial Analyst political money — 2008 cycle

Financial Analyst as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation FINANCIAL ANALYST and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $750,092, 793 contributions, and 396 donors. FINANCIAL ANALYST is a job-title spelling. FEC.gov does not confirm Series licenses or buy-side versus sell-side roles. The occupation hub is $15,586,134 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2008 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2008’s dollar share is 4.8% ($750,092 of $15,586,134). The remainder, $14,836,042, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 793 lines from 396 donors in a presidential cycle is a mid-scale finance-title cell with a sub-thousand mean gift. 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 $750,092.

The Financial Analyst string across every cycle

$15,586,134 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2008. Analyst, Investment Analyst, and Research Analyst are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $15,586,134 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Financial Analyst donations for the $15,586,134 roll. Open the 2008 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. 2008 is a presidential window that also includes a financial-crisis year. The join still does not assign motive to the receipts.

396 donors and a sub-thousand mean gift

Dividing $750,092 by 793 contributions yields about $946 per gift. Dividing by 396 donors yields about $1,894 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (793 ÷ 396). Those ratios describe this string in 2008, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

396 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2008. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 396 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2008 receipts beside this cell.

What 4.8% of Financial Analyst dollars is not

A 4.8% share of Financial Analyst-coded dollars from 2008 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 2008 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $750,092 as itemized individual receipts tagged FINANCIAL ANALYST in 2008, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Financial Analyst × 2008

A complete claim names Financial Analyst and 2008, then $750,092, 793 contributions, 396 donors, and 4.8% of $15,586,134, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 396 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Financial Analyst and 2008—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $946 and mean per donor $1,894 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and Analyst as a sibling key

The occupation hub still holds $14,836,042 outside 2008. Most of the $15,586,134 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. Analyst, Investment Analyst, and Research Analyst are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of FINANCIAL ANALYST on this page. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.0. That ratio is 793 divided by 396, not a measure of turnout.
