Not employed / Retired
Contributors who listed Not employed/Retired on federal itemized receipts account for $3.4M ($3,394,652), according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 11,466 contributions from 825 donors. Not employed/Retired is a mixed-case slash pair as typed — capital N, lowercase employed, capital R — not a NAICS retiree category, not a retiree PAC, and not the same row as RETIRED, NOT EMPLOYED, or RETIREE.
Key figures
- Not employed/Retired as FEC employer text totals $3.4M ($3,394,652) from 825 donors.
- 11,466 contribution lines sit under that mixed-case slash pair.
- RETIRED, NOT EMPLOYED, and RETIREE are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or retiree PAC total.
A slash pair, not two separate keys merged
FEC forms store Not employed/Retired when that exact pair is what the filer typed. LobbyVault does not build the row by adding NOT EMPLOYED plus RETIRED. The $3,394,652 total is itemized individual gifts whose grouped employer text matches the slash string. It is not a Social Security beneficiary file and not a Census retired-population estimate.
People who typed RETIRED, NOT EMPLOYED, Not Employed, RETIREE, or NONE sit in other rows if stored that way. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this mixed-case pair. The FEC field is not a pension roster. Occupation pages show titles stored beside the pair.
825 donors and 11,466 lines
825 unique donors produced 11,466 Not employed/Retired contribution lines totaling $3,394,652. That is on the order of 14 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $296. Mean per donor is about $4,115. Eight hundred twenty-five unique people is a wider roster than several firm stamps at similar dollars, with a lighter repeat pattern than payroll-style employer strings.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and association PAC filings are outside the $3,394,652 unless an individual receipt itself carries this slash string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.

Questions
- How much have Not employed/Retired-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,394,652 to the Not employed/Retired employer string, from 11,466 contributions and 825 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a retiree PAC and not a Census retiree total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this the same as the RETIRED or NOT EMPLOYED rows?
- No. Not employed/Retired is a distinct slash-joined pair as stored, including mixed case. RETIRED and NOT EMPLOYED are separate keys if stored that way. LobbyVault does not add those rows into this total. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Does this include people who listed a former employer?
- Only if the grouped employer text is Not employed/Retired. Former-firm legal names are separate keys if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the slash pair. People who typed RETIRED only sit in that other row. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed Not employed/Retired?
- The rollup counts 825 donors and 11,466 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a census of retirees. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
