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.

Not employed / Homemaker

Filers who listed Not employed/Homemaker on federal itemized receipts account for $3.9M ($3,876,054) on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 2,600 contributions and 638 donors. The slash joins a not-employed marker and a household-status word in one stored field. It is not a NAICS household total and not a PAC. Mean gift size is high relative to the thin receipt file.

Key figures

Not employed/Homemaker as FEC employer text totals $3.9M ($3,876,054) from 638 donors.
2,600 contribution lines sit under that slash household-status string.
HOMEMAKER, HOME MAKER, and NOT EMPLOYED are separate FEC keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or PAC total.

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.
