Key figures

  • PRODUCER itemizations sum to $20,616,070 from 49,502 contributions and 2,154 donors.
  • The noun is ambiguous self-reported text, not a NAICS code or union roster.
  • Mean amounts are about $416 per contribution and about $9,571 per donor record.
  • The 2,154 donor-record count is part of the citation; dropping it hides concentration.

One word covering several trades

$20,616,070, 49,502 itemizations, and 2,154 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $416. Mean dollars per donor record is about $9,571. Repeat giving is about 23 itemizations per donor record.

Those means sit above many high-volume professional labels on a per-donor basis. They do not tell you whether the donor makes films, records, crops, or insurance policies. The packet has no employer cross-tab.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median.

Producer is not a NAICS code

Occupation is self-reported free text. INSURANCE AGENT and agricultural or entertainment titles remain other keys unless the bulk extract normalized them to PRODUCER. This page cites only $20,616,070, 49,502 contributions, and 2,154 donors.

The FEC record does not verify a union card, a farm, or a producer license. Industry pages that group entertainment or insurance employers are a different cut.
