What human resources donors give in federal races

A department phrase under $4.8M

$4,842,093 is the occupation-level dollar total. 31,533 is the itemization count. 1,147 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $154. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,221. Repeat giving is about 27 itemizations per donor record.

31,533 lines from 1,147 records is a high-frequency pattern for a two-word department label. The per-line mean of about $154 is modest: dollars accumulated in many schedules rather than a few large checks. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution, no SHRM-certification field, and no party split. HUMAN RESOURCES can describe a specialist, a director, or anyone who typed the department name as a job. The occupation column does not say which.

Human resources is not HR manager and not recruiter

HR MANAGER, RECRUITER, and HR DIRECTOR — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to HUMAN RESOURCES. This page cites only $4,842,093, 31,533 contributions, and 1,147 donors.

FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no HR-certification check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals HUMAN RESOURCES after indexing. HR remains another occupation page unless it normalized here.

What 1,147 donor records cannot show

1,147 donor records used HUMAN RESOURCES on at least one matching itemization. That is not a census of working HR staff. Retired employees, people who abbreviated a longer title to HUMAN RESOURCES, and forms filled with a spouse’s job can appear. Address variants can split one human into more than one donor record.

A person who listed HUMAN RESOURCES on some gifts and HR MANAGER on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. The 27-line repeat rate is a property of matching text, not proof that 1,147 unique people each gave 27 times.

Keep employer industry tables separate

Industry pages group employer-side categories. An HR donor at a manufacturer and one at a hospital share this occupation string if they typed HUMAN RESOURCES. Adding $4,842,093 to any industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the HUMAN RESOURCES occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to neighboring labels. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $4,842,093.

How to cite HUMAN RESOURCES

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: HUMAN RESOURCES itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $4,842,093 on 31,533 contributions from 1,147 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules published on FEC.gov. The facts do not encode party or employer. Recipient committees are a different join. Compact millions ($4.8M) are the same headline amount as $4,842,093, rounded to one decimal place.

HUMAN RESOURCES as department-name occupation text

HUMAN RESOURCES in this extract is $4,842,093 on 31,533 itemizations from 1,147 donor records, or $4.8M 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; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $154 per contribution and about $4,221 per donor record, with roughly 27 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. HR MANAGER and RECRUITER remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to HUMAN RESOURCES. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $4,842,093. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals HUMAN RESOURCES, dollars equal $4,842,093, contributions equal 31,533, donors equal 1,147. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the shape of HUMAN RESOURCES. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.
