Department of Labor in Tennessee

A thin Labor file on Tennessee

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Tennessee as place-of-performance: 139 records summing to $837,073,695.27. A Department of Labor award coded outside TN is out. An award in Tennessee from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Tennessee (TN) excludes Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A West Memphis-coded award is Arkansas even if the river story sounds similar.

One hundred thirty-nine awards against $837,073,695.27 is a thin Labor book. The implied mean is large and is not a typical project size. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 139 as 139 unique job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. The overlay Department of Labor in Tennessee is the both-keys table. Tennessee federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an TN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville share one TN stamp. ETA, OSHA, and other Labor components can share awarding-agency 1601 without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: Tennessee did not cause $837,073,695.27 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × TN only.

139 actions are not 139 job centers

$837,073,695.27 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 TN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 139 awards as a census of job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Tennessee federal spending or Department of Labor matched $837,073,695.27 and 139, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state Labor joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $837,073,695.27 by 139 yields about $6,022,112.92 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Labor line and not a published median.
