Does $333,499 cover every 2012 gift from this field?

No. It covers itemized individual receipts whose occupation field matched LETTER CARRIER in cycle 2012. Blank occupation, nearby spellings, and unitemized gifts are outside the cell. Mail Carrier, Postal Worker, and Postal Carrier are other keys. The matched sum is $333,499 from 949 receipts and 449 donors.

What share of Letter Carrier money is the 2012 cycle?

5.8%: $333,499 divided by the occupation total $5,791,591. Other cycles hold $5,458,092 (94.2%). 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 Letter Carrier giving?

It is the FEC two-year presidential cycle tagged 2012, not January-only filings. Odd-year receipts inside that window can sit in $333,499 if they carried LETTER CARRIER. This file does not split those years. Counts: 949 contributions, 449 donors.

Where should a reader go after this Letter Carrier overlay?

The Letter Carrier 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 LETTER CARRIER × 2012 = $333,499.

2012 receipts tagged Letter Carrier

Two filters produce $333,499: occupation equals LETTER CARRIER, and cycle equals 2012. Drop either filter and the number is no longer this cell. The occupation hub still holds $5,791,591. The 2012 hub still holds every other occupation. Only this path keeps both filters on.

Internal paths stay on the packet list: the Letter Carrier 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.

449 donor keys are identities in the harvest, not published names. 949 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 LETTER CARRIER

Letter Carrier as a self-reported occupation is filer-entered on FEC.gov. LobbyVault does not verify payroll. Postal job strings on FEC forms are filer-entered. This page does not merge LETTER CARRIER with nearby postal wording. A union committee filing is a different FEC table. The 5.8% ratio is $333,499 divided by $5,791,591.

This join does not recode LETTER CARRIER into a USPS headcount, a postal-union membership roll, or a route census. LETTER CARRIER is the typed title. Carrier craft versus clerk craft is unpublished. Employer is unpublished. Quote the occupation total and the cycle cell as two different numbers.

449 Letter Carrier donor keys in 2012

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for Letter Carrier. This packet does not publish names. A mean of $351 per itemized line and $743 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median.

A small or large mean is not a ranking of Letter Carrier against other occupations. This packet has no other occupation’s 2012 total. Quote 949 and 449 with $333,499.

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 $333,499. 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.

Letter Carrier labels and neighboring strings

Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods without this occupation string, and bundled contributions that never carried LETTER CARRIER are outside $333,499. Independent expenditures are outside $333,499. 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 Letter Carrier × 2012 overlay

Use every listed hub: Letter Carrier donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Those pages hold the neighboring cuts. This overlay holds the intersection $333,499.

The two tables that meet are Letter Carrier donations ($5,791,591 for the string) and the 2012 election cycle. The overlap is $333,499. All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle cells.

The occupation string LETTER CARRIER is copied from the FEC occupation field without a Bureau of Labor Statistics recode. Letter Carrier in 2012 remains $333,499 on 949 itemized lines from 449 donor keys. Neighboring English is a different row.

Readers who need committee names should leave this overlay and open the Letter Carrier occupation hub or the 2012 election-cycle hub. Those hubs are linked. This file does not invent committee names, donor names, or award recipients. $333,499 is an individual-contribution sum.

Itemization thresholds mean small gifts can exist outside $333,499. The packet does not estimate that omitted tail. Independent expenditures are a different FEC form class and are omitted from the Letter Carrier × 2012 cell. Unitemized receipts are omitted.

The remainder $5,458,092 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 $333,499.
