Investment Banking money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Investment Banking as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation INVESTMENT BANKING and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $976,527, 499 contributions, and 304 donors. INVESTMENT BANKING in 2012 is an industry phrase. Investment Banker is the person-title sibling if stored separately. The occupation hub is $6,137,543 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 15.9% ($976,527 of $6,137,543). The remainder, $5,161,016, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale finance-phrase cell, not a named-desk 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 $976,527.

The INVESTMENT BANKING phrase across every cycle

$6,137,543 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2012. Investment Banker, Banking, and Finance are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $6,137,543 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Investment Banking donations for the $6,137,543 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.

304 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $976,527 by 499 contributions yields about $1,957 per gift. Dividing by 304 donors yields about $3,212 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 1.6 (499 ÷ 304). Those ratios describe this string in 2012, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

304 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 304 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2012 receipts beside this cell. Banking without the word Investment is a different key. Do not add that 2012 Banking cell to this phrase.

What Investment Banking dollars in 2012 are not

A 15.9% share of Investment Banking-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 $976,527 as itemized individual receipts tagged INVESTMENT BANKING in 2012, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Investment Banking × 2012

A complete claim names Investment Banking and 2012, then $976,527, 499 contributions, 304 donors, and 15.9% of $6,137,543, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 304 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Investment Banking and 2012—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,957 and mean per donor $3,212 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Banking as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $5,161,016 outside 2012. Most of the $6,137,543 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. Investment Banker, Banking, and Finance are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of INVESTMENT BANKING on this page. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 1.6. That ratio is 499 divided by 304, not a measure of turnout.
