Department of Labor in Louisiana

A thin Labor file on Louisiana

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Louisiana as place-of-performance: 152 records summing to $865,568,921.09. A Department of Labor award coded outside LA is out. An award in Louisiana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Louisiana (LA) excludes Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi. A Gulfport-coded award is Mississippi even if the Gulf story sounds similar.

One hundred fifty-two awards against $865,568,921.09 is a thin Labor book. The implied mean is large and is not a typical project size. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 152 as 152 unique job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. The overlay Department of Labor in Louisiana is the both-keys table. Louisiana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an LA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport share one LA stamp. ETA, OSHA, and other Labor components can share awarding-agency 1601 without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: Louisiana did not cause $865,568,921.09 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × LA only.

152 actions are not 152 job centers

$865,568,921.09 does not measure job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an LA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 152 awards as a census of job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Louisiana federal spending or Department of Labor matched $865,568,921.09 and 152, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state Labor joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $865,568,921.09 by 152 yields about $5,694,532.38 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Labor line and not a published median.
