What business-manager occupation donors give in federal races

High-repeat manager phrase, a $197 mean

$8,721,770, 44,266 itemizations, and 1,823 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $197. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,784. Repeat giving is about 24 itemizations per donor record.

44,266 lines from 1,823 records is a high-repeat manager-title stack. The $197 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical salary share redirected to politics.

The packet has no industry-of-business field, no headcount, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller.

BUSINESS MANAGER is not MANAGER

The FEC record does not verify a management layer. Entertainment business managers, school business managers, and people who typed MANAGER sit on other keys unless the extract merged them. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $8,721,770, 44,266 contributions, and 1,823 donors. MANAGER, GENERAL MANAGER, and BUSINESS OWNER remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.

Donor records and dual titles

1,823 donor records used BUSINESS MANAGER on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed BUSINESS MANAGER on some gifts and MANAGER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party from the two-word rank.

Industry pages group employers

Industry pages group employers. A talent-agency business manager and a school business manager share this occupation string if they typed BUSINESS MANAGER. Adding $8,721,770 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the BUSINESS MANAGER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the phrase next to MANAGER and other business titles.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals BUSINESS MANAGER, dollars equal $8,721,770, contributions equal 44,266, donors equal 1,823, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Quote the three facts together so the high-repeat mean is visible next to the headline dollars.

Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact beyond $8,721,770, 44,266 contributions, and 1,823 donors. The shorter MANAGER key stays on its own page unless the extract merged it into BUSINESS MANAGER.

Reading BUSINESS MANAGER next to MANAGER

BUSINESS MANAGER in this extract is $8,721,770 on 44,266 itemizations from 1,823 donor records, or $8.7 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules. People who type manager, general manager, or business owner may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact BUSINESS MANAGER key is in $8,721,770.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $197 per contribution and about $4,784 per donor record, with roughly 24 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Combining BUSINESS MANAGER with MANAGER without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 1,823 donor records on 44,266 lines is a high-repeat rank pool, not a management census.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $8,721,770. A person who listed BUSINESS MANAGER on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals BUSINESS MANAGER, dollars equal $8,721,770, contributions equal 44,266, donors equal 1,823. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live BUSINESS MANAGER occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($8.7 million) are the same headline amount as $8,721,770, rounded to one decimal place. Keep 44,266 contributions and 1,823 donor records in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the high-repeat two-word rank separately from MANAGER. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a management census. A citation that stays inside the packet names BUSINESS MANAGER, $8,721,770, 44,266, and 1,823 together.
