MANAGER
People who wrote MANAGER in the employer or occupation field on federal campaign filings account for $4,463,483 in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. LobbyVault counts 13,207 contributions and 435 donors. Mean gift size is about $338; mean per donor is about $10,261. The word is a generic title. It is not a NAICS management-occupations code and not a census of people who manage anything.
Key figures
- MANAGER FEC strings sum to $4,463,483.
- 13,207 contributions came from 435 donors.
- About $338 per gift and $10,261 per donor on a simple mean.
- The word is generic uncoded text, not NAICS.
- Longer manager titles may be other slugs.
A thin title covering $4,463,483
Four hundred thirty-five unique donors produced 13,207 contributions, about 30 itemized gifts per person. MANAGER is one of the least specific strings in the FEC occupation vocabulary. Store manager, fund manager, campaign manager, and general manager can collapse into this key if the filer typed only the one word. The packet does not split those senses.
Top employer is MANAGER, which means many rows used the title as the employer field (common for self-employed or incompletely filled forms). Company-name employers for people who also manage sit on other industry slugs.
Why generic titles rank as industries
LobbyVault’s industry index is a ranking of FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Generic titles compete with Fortune-name employers because the Commission does not recode text into NAICS. MANAGER reached $4,463,483 as a string, not as a coded occupation group.
Occupation breakdowns are the better map for related titles (general manager, project manager) if those keys exist. This page is the MANAGER industry key only.

Questions
- How much have manager-labeled filers given federally?
- The MANAGER industry cluster totals $4,463,483 in itemized FEC contributions, from 13,207 contributions and 435 donors. Filers wrote MANAGER in employer or occupation. The word is uncoded FEC text, not a NAICS management occupation group. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
- Does this include fund managers and store managers?
- Only if they typed the single word MANAGER as the industry key. Longer titles stored as other keys are other slugs. This page’s $4,463,483 is the bare MANAGER string. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
- How many unique manager-labeled donors are there?
- LobbyVault counts 435 donors and 13,207 contributions. Unique-donor count is matching disclosure text, not a labor-market estimate of managers. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
- Why is manager on the industry list?
- LobbyVault industries rank FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Job titles share the index with company names because FEC.gov does not attach NAICS. Top employer in the facts is MANAGER. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
