Stockbroker (occupation text) and the 2012 FEC cycle

Two keys: STOCKBROKER and 2012

The packet’s keys are literal: industry string STOCKBROKER, cycle 2012. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $347,018, from 203 contributions and 49 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as self-reported occupation word. Self-reported employer and occupation fields are free text. Filers who wrote a longer firm name, a parent company, or a nearby title are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets.

$347,018 is smaller than $3,860,967 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2012 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point.

Where $3,513,949 still sits

After this 2012 cell of $347,018, $3,513,949 of the Stockbroker grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 91.0% of $3,860,967. The 2012 page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2012 total is supplied, so no “share of the election” claim is possible. 9.0% is Stockbroker-internal. Because 2012 is about 9.0% of $3,860,967, most stored Stockbroker money sits outside this window ($3,513,949). The industry hub is the index for those other cycles. This page isolates 2012 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

How 49 donors produced 203 gifts

49 donors and 203 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 4.1 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.

$7,082 per donor and $1,709 per line are derived from $347,018. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Volume math uses only three facts: $347,018, 203 contributions, 49 donors. Derived means are $1,709 per gift and $7,082 per identity. They describe this cell, not typical American giving and not a party split.

2012 is not Election Day

An election-night search is the wrong grain for $347,018. The FEC cycle 2012 is a two-year bucket. Dates belong on the overlay, not in invented subtotals.

The cycle hub and this tie differ by one filter. The hub is all strings in 2012. The tie is Stockbroker in 2012. Only the tie is $347,018. Searchers often want a single Tuesday. FEC cycle 2012 is two years. Both years can feed $347,018. Dates, if needed, belong on the overlay, not as invented subtotals in this prose.

Limits of the Stockbroker string

The string STOCKBROKER is not NAICS, not a Dunn-style firm ID, and not a donor page. It is self-reported occupation word. Related names remain other keys. $347,018 does not absorb them.

Motive, party, and recipient strategy are not in the facts. This file does not speculate. 49 donors and 203 contributions are counts, not a narrative about why people gave. The Commission does not verify that STOCKBROKER is a legal entity, a license, or a current job. Stockbroker is self-reported occupation word. $347,018 is a text-match aggregate for 2012 itemized individual receipts.

Keeping Stockbroker 2012 distinct from the hubs

Stockbroker without 2012 is $3,860,967. 2012 without Stockbroker is the year hub. Stockbroker with 2012 is $347,018. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: Stockbroker 2012 (overlay), Stockbroker (grouping), 2012 election cycle (year), All FEC ties (other joins). Anchors stay as supplied in the packet. A durable citation names STOCKBROKER, 2012, $347,018, 203 contributions, 49 donors, and FEC.gov. Add 9.0% of $3,860,967 when lifetime context is required. Do not add USAspending dollars. Restating the join without new numbers: Stockbroker in 2012 is $347,018 from 203 itemized individual contributions and 49 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $3,860,967 across cycles, so 2012 is about 9.0% and other windows hold $3,513,949 (91.0%). The grouping is self-reported occupation word, not a broker-dealer PAC, a FINRA census, or neighboring titles such as stock broker stored as other keys. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $1,709; mean per donor about $7,082; about 4.1 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $347,018.
