Employment Service/Wagner-Peyser Funded Activities — CFDA 17.207

Wagner-Peyser obligations at $3.29 billion

USAspending.gov records $3,286,995,159.45 in obligations under CFDA 17.207. Four hundred twenty-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $7.72 million per award — larger than a typical local job-center grant and consistent with statewide employment-service awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical American Job Center budget.

The assistance-listing title is EMPLOYMENT SERVICE/WAGNER-PEYSER FUNDED ACTIVITIES. CFDA 17.207 is the identifier. WIOA adult, youth, and dislocated-worker listings are separate CFDA numbers and are not mixed into the $3.29 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined workforce total this packet does not contain.

63 recipients across 54 states

Sixty-three recipients share 426 awards, or about 6.8 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $3.29 billion evenly would assign about $52.2 million per recipient. That pattern matches a formula portfolio in which a state workforce agency holds several award years or amendments. The packet does not list the 63. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of job seekers or local offices.

Fifty-four states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field. Formula dollars still vary by labor-force rules that are not in this packet. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a job-seeker count

Among workforce listings, 17.207 is a moderate file: 426 rows against 63 recipients. Annual formula awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique grantees. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of employment-service offices.” Recipients (63) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (426) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report placements, unemployment rates, or office visits. Citing 426 as job seekers would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus employment-service outlays

The $3.29 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Wagner-Peyser awards — are not in the packet. A state can show a large obligation stock while local offices draw on a different calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 17.207 to size this employment-service listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a placements dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 17.207.

What the 17.207 tables omit

The Employment Service/Wagner-Peyser hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a job-seeker census, not an office directory, and not a ranking of placement rates. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $3,286,995,159.45. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 426 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 54 states is a coding field. A statewide recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography while offices sit in many counties. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares.

Where the 17.207 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 17.207 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other labor listings. For 17.207 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 17.207’s 426 awards spread $3,286,995,159.45 across 63 recipients and 54 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 6.8 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

CFDA 17.207 is indexed at $3,286,995,159.45 in obligations, 426 awards, 63 recipients, and 54 states on USAspending.gov. Employment Service/Wagner-Peyser Funded Activities should be cited on that CFDA row alone. The $3.29 billion figure sizes the listing in the assistance file. It does not convert obligations into outlays, and it does not convert award count into a service, patient, student, or project census.

Readers who need the overlay tables should start on the program page for CFDA 17.207, then rank the listing on the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings; they do not replace the $3,286,995,159.45 obligation stock. Keep the four facts together when quoting Employment Service/Wagner-Peyser Funded Activities: dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov, award count as a stored-row count, recipient count as the organizational headcount (including 0 when the extract stores none), and the state figure as a geographic coding count.
