What the Labor-Kentucky join is
Awarding agency 1601 and place-of-performance state KY meet here. $1,250,060,494.21 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Labor's nationwide budget, not Kentucky's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Workforce-board, mine-safety, and statewide job-training folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of Kentucky workers.
179 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short award list beside a billion-dollar obligation total. A few large awards can dominate a dollar total even when the row count looks modest. The join does not rank Kentucky against other states and does not name training boards inside the extract.

179 Labor actions under one Kentucky filter
Dividing $1,250,060,494.21 by 179 yields about $6,983,578.18 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical workforce grant. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census. Board names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.
Workforce-board, mine-safety, and statewide job-training folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns.
