Department of Labor federal obligations in Arkansas

Awarding-agency 1601 meeting Arkansas

Filter awarding agency to Department of Labor (1601) and geography to Arkansas (AR) and the USAspending aggregate returns 126 awards totaling $410,939,592.88. Drop either key and you leave this cell. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. A Fort Smith-coded award with an Oklahoma place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

Read 126 as an award-record count, not a census of wage-and-hour cases, named job centers, or UI recipient censuses. 126 awards against $410,939,592.88 is a 126-award labor file on 1601, similar in row count to Kansas’s Labor join. Unique recipients are unpublished. Department of Labor in Arkansas keeps both filters on. Arkansas federal spending is every awarding agency tagged to AR. Department of Labor is Department of Labor without the Arkansas filter. All spending ties indexes other spending ties.

Code 1601 stays on this overlay. Neighboring-state Labor 1601 joins are other pairs, not pieces of $410,939,592.88. Sharing a map with Department of Labor does not prove Arkansas caused $410,939,592.88. Correlation is not causation. The only keys on this page are awarding-agency 1601 and place-of-performance AR.

A Labor cell is not a claims ledger

$410,939,592.88 does not measure wage-and-hour cases, named job centers, or UI recipient censuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an AR place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 126 awards as a census of wage-and-hour cases, named job centers, or UI recipient censuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Arkansas federal spending or Department of Labor matched $410,939,592.88 and 126, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Labor 1601 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Arkansas, not a River Valley-only map

The AR tag is place of performance, not recipient HQ and not a commuting shed. Arkansas (AR) excludes Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. A Fort Smith-coded award with an Oklahoma place-of-performance tag is a different cell. A recipient in Arkansas with work tagged elsewhere is out of this cell.

This packet does not split $410,939,592.88 by city, county, or named facility. 126 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One hundred twenty-six obligations

USAspending obligations are commitments. $410,939,592.88 is not proof that Treasury already disbursed that sum in Arkansas. Later payments, deobligations, and upward adjustments can all move the figure. Keep the obligation label.

Arkansas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 126 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $410,939,592.88. Sharing a geography with Department of Labor does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the Department of Labor in Arkansas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $410,939,592.88 on 126 awards coded to Arkansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as wage-and-hour cases, named job centers, or UI recipient censuses.

Prefer Department of Labor in Arkansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Arkansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AR. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the AR filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $410,939,592.88.

A usable footnote names Department of Labor, Arkansas, $410,939,592.88, and 126. The compact headline $410.9M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3,261,425.34 is $410,939,592.88 divided by 126. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
