Department of Labor in Arizona

Labor awards tagged to Arizona

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Arizona as place-of-performance: 227 records summing to $1,270,573,067.65. A Department of Labor award coded outside AZ is out. An award in Arizona from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Arizona (AZ) excludes California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado. A California-coded award is CA even if a worker commutes.

Two hundred twenty-seven records against $1,270,573,067.65 is a thin, high-mean Labor file: few rows, large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 227 as 227 unique jobs created, unemployment rates, or unique workers. The overlay Department of Labor in Arizona is the both-keys table. Arizona federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an AZ filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Phoenix workforce boards are unpublished. Do not assign 227 awards to a named local area. Correlation is not causation: Arizona did not cause $1,270,573,067.65 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × AZ only.

Unemployment rates are a different series

$1,270,573,067.65 does not measure jobs created, unemployment rates, or unique workers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an AZ place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 227 awards as a census of jobs created, unemployment rates, or unique workers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arizona federal spending or Department of Labor matched $1,270,573,067.65 and 227, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. California, Nevada, and New Mexico Labor joins are other pairs, not addends.
