Department of Labor federal obligations in Alabama

How Alabama and Department of Labor share one cell

This page is a join: Department of Labor as awarding agency 1601, Alabama as place of performance. The published cell is $747,806,937.49. That number does not describe every Labor bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Alabama. Gulf-port and huntsville-lab folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 153 — a modest award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of workforce boards. State workforce agencies names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Reading 153 awards against $747,806,937.49

About $4,887,627.04 per award is $747,806,937.49 ÷ 153. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of state workforce agencies. Job-training, ui administration, and workforce-board folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Gulf-port and huntsville-lab folklore may explain why a searcher landed here. It does not add dollars, awards, or state workforce agencies to the extract. Keep the published pair at $747,806,937.49 and 153.

Alabama geography is not the nationwide Labor book

Department of Labor is Department of Labor without a state filter. Alabama federal spending is Alabama without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide Labor book as if it were Alabama's $747,806,937.49 cell is a misread of the join.

A AL place-of-performance tag is not a promise that every dollar stayed inside Birmingham. Work can be planned in Alabama and performed partly in Mississippi or Tennessee. Those neighbor-coded awards are out of this cell. No metro split of Birmingham from Mobile or Huntsville is published here.

Commitment versus payment

USAspending.gov distinguishes obligations from outlays. The source note on this packet is explicit: the $747,806,937.49 figure is an obligation aggregate, not cash paid. No fiscal year is published in the facts, so none is invented here.

153 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use Department of Labor in Alabama for the live table.

Correlation is not causation

The join is descriptive. $747,806,937.49 does not prove that Alabama received too much or too little Labor money, and it does not prove that training delivery caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of Labor obligations in Alabama and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

A clean footnote for agency 1601 in Alabama

Cite both sides: Department of Labor (agency 1601) and Alabama. Then cite $747,806,937.49 and 153. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Birmingham from Mobile or Huntsville. Skip invented state workforce agencies.

Follow Department of Labor in Alabama for the overlay, Alabama federal spending for statewide context, Department of Labor for the agency without Alabama, and All spending ties for sibling joins. Gulf-port and huntsville-lab folklore does not add a third numeric field. This packet's facts remain $747,806,937.49, 153, 1601, AL, and Department of Labor. The 153 figure is not a count of unique state workforce agencies and is not a count of distinct Labor awards. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $4,887,627.04 is not a typical workforce or unemployment-insurance admin award. Statewide Alabama includes Birmingham, Mobile, and Huntsville only as reader landmarks. None of those names is a published subtotal. A county or city extract would be a different USAspending query. Department of Labor in Alabama remains the filtered table for this pair. Alabama federal spending answers a statewide question that mixes agencies. Department of Labor answers an agency question that mixes states. All spending ties is the catalog of other two-sided pages, not a sum of this cell plus its siblings.
