Social Worker donations in the 2012 FEC cycle

Social Worker × 2012

SOCIAL WORKER plus cycle 2012 equals $926,489. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2012. Social work, LMSW, LCSW, and case manager are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an NASW membership census, a state social-work license roster, or a child-welfare payroll. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Parent hubs: Social Worker donations at /occupations/social-worker/ and the 2012 election cycle at /election-cycles/2012/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $926,489 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Social Worker in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $926,489. Clinical versus school versus agency practice is unpublished for Social Worker in 2012. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

The SOCIAL WORKER string, not a license class

$16.5 million ($16,549,179) belongs to the exact string SOCIAL WORKER across harvested cycles. It is not an NASW membership census, a state social-work license roster, or a child-welfare payroll. People who wrote nearby wording — social work, LMSW, LCSW, and case manager — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2012 slice is 5.6% of that title bucket. Share of SOCIAL WORKER is not share of all 2012 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $926,489. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $16,549,179. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Social Worker 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 $926,489.

1,509 social-worker receipts in a presidential year

599 donors and 1,509 receipts — about 2.5 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $614; mean per donor about $1,547. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 599 donors makes this a mid-size occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,509 is a line count, not 599 one-time gifts; about two lines per donor, which is consistent with repeat gifts inside the same two-year window. Clinical versus school versus agency practice is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by SOCIAL WORKER. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $926,489.

Occupation versus human-services PACs

Cite $926,489 as Social Worker in 2012. Cite $16,549,179 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add union and professional-association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $926,489 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 5.6%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode SOCIAL WORKER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite social-worker money in 2012

A clean footnote names occupation SOCIAL WORKER, election cycle 2012, $926,489 in itemized individual contributions, 1,509 receipts, and 599 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $614 per line and $1,547 per donor in the cell. If the live Social Worker donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,509 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Social Worker donations rolls every cycle into one SOCIAL WORKER running total. The 2012 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2012 total. Only the Social Worker × 2012 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,509 receipts and $926,489. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
