Financial Services money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Financial Services as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation FINANCIAL SERVICES and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,056,720, 622 contributions, and 311 donors. FINANCIAL SERVICES in 2012 is an industry phrase on receipts. FEC.gov does not map it to a NAICS code. The occupation hub is $7,119,440 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 14.8% ($1,056,720 of $7,119,440). The remainder, $6,062,720, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale industry-phrase cell, not a named-firm roster. 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 $1,056,720.

The FINANCIAL SERVICES phrase across every cycle

$7,119,440 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2012. Finance, Financial Advisor, and Banking are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $7,119,440 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Financial Services donations for the $7,119,440 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.

311 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $1,056,720 by 622 contributions yields about $1,699 per gift. Dividing by 311 donors yields about $3,398 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (622 ÷ 311). Those ratios describe this string in 2012, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

311 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 311 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2012 receipts beside this cell. Banking and Investment Banking remain separate keys. Adding them to this phrase would mix industry labels.

What Financial Services dollars in 2012 are not

A 14.8% share of Financial Services-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 $1,056,720 as itemized individual receipts tagged FINANCIAL SERVICES in 2012, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Financial Services × 2012

A complete claim names Financial Services and 2012, then $1,056,720, 622 contributions, 311 donors, and 14.8% of $7,119,440, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 311 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Financial Services and 2012—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,699 and mean per donor $3,398 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Finance as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $6,062,720 outside 2012. Most of the $7,119,440 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. Finance, Financial Advisor, and Banking are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of FINANCIAL SERVICES on this page. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.0. That ratio is 622 divided by 311, not a measure of turnout.
