Department of Labor in Ohio

Labor and Ohio as an accounting intersection

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Department of Labor (code 1601) and place-of-performance Ohio. The extract sums to $2,205,435,952.63 on 248 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Department of Labor spending caused Ohio outcomes, or that Ohio caused the federal award book.

The pair is not an Ohio manufacturing-health index or a UI claims dashboard. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a state workforce agency, a training contractor, or an enforcement office. Work tagged to Ohio can involve parties elsewhere, and Ohio work can be coded to another state.

BLS employment surveys, UI claims, and OSHA inspection counts are other publications. Mixing any of those series with $2,205,435,952.63 leaves the USAspending award file. The 248 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Two hundred forty-eight awards under $2.21 billion

Two hundred forty-eight awards under a $2.21 billion book is a sparse tape relative to the dollars. Dividing $2,205,435,952.63 by 248 awards yields an implied mean near $8,892,887. 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 248 and $2,205,435,952.63. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $8,892,887 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $2,205,435,952.63 and 248. 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 Ohio.

Questions

How much has the Department of Labor obligated in Ohio?

USAspending.gov shows $2,205,435,952.63 in Department of Labor obligations coded to Ohio across 248 awards. Awarding-agency 1601 and Ohio place of performance define the join. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Why are there only 248 Labor awards in Ohio?

The extract counts 248 award records. Large formula or insurance-style vehicles can produce a short tape with a high implied mean—about $8,892,887 from $2,205,435,952.63 divided by 248. Program splits are not in this packet.

Is this Ohio’s unemployment-insurance spending?

The packet does not isolate Unemployment Insurance from other Labor accounts. $2,205,435,952.63 is the full agency 1601 × Ohio cell. UI claims series are a different product.

Are Labor obligations in Ohio the same as outlays?

No. $2,205,435,952.63 is an obligation sum on 248 awards. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury and can lag. SpendingVault does not convert this Ohio × Labor cell into cash.
