Office manager × 2012

OFFICE MANAGER plus cycle 2012 equals $1,617,260. Management and manager are other keys. This join does not recode administrative titles into one clerical census.

Parent hubs: Office Manager donations and the 2012 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps the two-word administrative title as its own occupation-year cell.

The occupation hub for Office Manager lists $17.3 million ($17,334,839) under the exact string OFFICE MANAGER. The 2012 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2012, not only this label. This ties page is the cell where those two filters meet. All occupations and All FEC ties keep sibling joins in the same directory so a reader can move without mixing totals.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Office Manager in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.6 million. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

An administrative title string

$17.3 million ($17,334,839) belongs to OFFICE MANAGER. It is not a count of people who run offices, and it is not the one-word Management bucket. People who wrote manager or administrator are other rows if that is the form text.

The 2012 slice is 9.3% of the two-word bucket. Other cycle amounts are not listed here.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,617,260. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $17,334,839. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Office Manager donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $1,617,260. If a later harvest revises 1,746 or 861, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($17,334,839) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.

861 office-manager donors

861 donors and 1,746 receipts — about 2.0 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $926; mean per donor about $1,878. An 861-donor presidential-year file is a mid-size cell. No median.

In some filings, office manager can be a household or campaign-staff shortcut. This packet cannot separate those uses. $1.6 million follows the two words in 2012.

1,746 is a receipt count. 861 is a distinct-donor count inside this occupation-cycle cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by the string. People who left the occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1.6 million.

Searchers comparing Office Manager with another occupation must open that other occupation’s cycle cell rather than rescale 9.3%. Share of OFFICE MANAGER is not share of all 2012 receipts. The 2012 election cycle hub is the page that holds the cycle’s occupation mix; this ties page holds one row of it.

Keep Management and Office Manager apart

Cite $1,617,260 as Office Manager in 2012. Cite $17,334,839 as this two-word occupation total. Adding Management would mix a department word with an administrative title.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. All occupations lists neighboring rank titles.

Dividing $1,617,260 by 1,746 receipts yields about $926 per line. Dividing by 861 donors yields about $1,878 per person in the cell. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.

Not a home-manager or homemaker row

Office Manager is the workplace title as typed. It is not the junk labels this pipeline skips (homemaker, home manager). Filers who wrote those other strings are not in $1.6 million.

No party split, no ranking of administrative jobs. 1,746 receipts and 861 donors are the volume facts.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode OFFICE MANAGER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a medical-board specialty. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string and do the mapping themselves.
