Department of Labor in Maryland

A thin Labor file on Maryland

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Maryland as place-of-performance: 343 records summing to $1,657,890,209.83. A Department of Labor award coded outside MD is out. An award in Maryland from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maryland (MD) excludes the District of Columbia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. A D.C.-coded award is DC even if the worker lives in Prince George’s.

Three hundred forty-three awards against $1,657,890,209.83 is a thin Labor book, so the implied mean is large. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 343 as 343 unique unemployment claimants, OSHA citations, or unique job centers. The overlay Department of Labor in Maryland is the both-keys table. Maryland federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an MD filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet uses awarding-agency 1601 as given. ETA, OSHA, and other Labor offices can share the cell without a published split. Correlation is not causation: Maryland did not cause $1,657,890,209.83 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × MD only.

Not unemployment rates or an OSHA count

$1,657,890,209.83 does not measure unemployment claimants, OSHA citations, or unique job centers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an MD place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 343 awards as a census of unemployment claimants, OSHA citations, or unique job centers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maryland federal spending or Department of Labor matched $1,657,890,209.83 and 343, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. District of Columbia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania Labor joins are other pairs, not addends.
