How much have Not employed/Homemaker-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,876,054 to the Not employed/Homemaker employer string, from 2,600 contributions and 638 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not a PAC and not a NAICS household total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this the same as HOMEMAKER or HOME MAKER?

No. HOMEMAKER and HOME MAKER are separate grouped strings. The $3.9M total is only receipts whose employer text grouped to Not employed/Homemaker, including the slash. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Why is the mean gift larger than other rows in this slice?

$3,876,054 divided by 2,600 lines is about $1,491. The packet does not publish a mean as its own FEC field; that figure is arithmetic. Fewer lines relative to dollars raise the mean. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed Not employed/Homemaker?

The rollup counts 638 donors and 2,600 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a Census household headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.

A slash household status, not Census recode

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Not employed/Homemaker is the exact slash spelling as stored. The $3,876,054 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not HOMEMAKER as one word, not HOME MAKER with a space, and not NOT EMPLOYED as a standalone key.

HOUSEWIFE, None/Homemaker, and RETIRED sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this slash. The FEC field records what was typed, not a standardized Census status.

638 donors and 2,600 lines

638 unique donors produced 2,600 Not employed/Homemaker contribution lines totaling $3,876,054. That is on the order of 4 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $1,491. Mean per donor is about $6,075. A thinner 2,600-line file against $3,876,054 implies a mean gift near $1,491—higher than most employer strings in this slice.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $3,876,054 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

HOMEMAKER and NOT EMPLOYED stay separate

HOMEMAKER, HOME MAKER, NOT EMPLOYED, and HOUSEWIFE are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with Not employed/Homemaker would mix distinct FEC fields. This page reports $3,876,054 for Not employed/Homemaker only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside Not employed/Homemaker as typed. A donor who listed a spouse’s firm name is not in these 638 people unless the receipt grouped to this slash.

Donor table without household inference

The Not employed/Homemaker donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach household wealth, a spouse’s occupation, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a Census household roster.

Repeat names are expected among 2,600 lines from 638 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the stored string.
