HUMAN RESOURCES

Total Donated

$4,842,093

Contributions

31,533

Unique Donors

1,147

Donors who listed HUMAN RESOURCES as occupation account for $4.8M in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov bulk files. The exact occupation total is $4,842,093 on 31,533 contribution lines tied to 1,147 donor records. HUMAN RESOURCES is a department phrase used as occupation text, not HR MANAGER or RECRUITER. Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X.

Key figures

  • HUMAN RESOURCES itemizations sum to $4,842,093 ($4.8M) from 31,533 contributions and 1,147 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $154 per contribution and about $4,221 per donor record.
  • HR MANAGER and RECRUITER are separate occupation keys unless normalized here.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not an HR roster.

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.

The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
