Labor awards tagged to Michigan
This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Department of Labor (code 1601) and place-of-performance Michigan. The extract sums to $2,032,980,869.95 on 208 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Department of Labor spending caused Michigan outcomes, or that Michigan caused the federal award book.
The pair is not a Detroit auto-employment index or a union-membership census. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a Lansing pass-through, a training site, or an enforcement office. Work tagged to Michigan can involve parties elsewhere, and Michigan work can be coded to another state.
Auto-production statistics, UI claims, and BLS establishment surveys are other series. Mixing any of those series with $2,032,980,869.95 leaves the USAspending award file. The 208 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.
Two hundred eight awards under $2.03 billion
Two hundred eight awards under a $2.03 billion book is a thin file relative to the dollars. Dividing $2,032,980,869.95 by 208 awards yields an implied mean near $9,773,946. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.
Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 208 and $2,032,980,869.95. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $9,773,946 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.
Later ingests can revise $2,032,980,869.95 and 208. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Michigan.
