Department of Labor obligations coded to California 42nd District (CA-42)
Awarding agency 1601 and congressional district CA-42 meet here. $49,540,946.84 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Labor’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to California 42nd District (CA-42), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Employment and Training Administration, OSHA, or other Labor components, and it does not split contract versus assistance instruments. One award record is still an action count, not a named recipient. Unique vendors are unpublished. This cell is not a job-placement census, an unemployment-check register, or a named-grantee file.
With one award, the implied mean equals the cell total ($49,540,946.84). That identity is arithmetic, not a typical payment and not a typical training grant, wage-hour penalty, or weekly UI line. A one-row Labor file is a single-row file; a named-facility story is still unavailable. Do not treat CA-42’s 1601 cell as a synonym for every Labor account nationwide. Open California 42nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Labor for agency 1601 without the CA-42 filter, California federal spending for every awarding agency in the California extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $49,540,946.84.
What Labor contributes to this pair
USAspending labels awarding agency 1601 as Department of Labor. That code produced $49,540,946.84 when crossed with California 42nd District (CA-42) place of performance. The agency-wide 1601 hub does not require CA-42 geography. The district hub does not require Labor. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1 awards. The packet does not split Employment and Training Administration, OSHA, or other Labor components, and it does not split contract versus assistance instruments.
District geography versus California statewide totals
California 42nd District (CA-42) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CA-42 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 1601. California 42nd District (CA-42) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside California. Other California districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 1601.
California federal spending shows how agency 1601 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $49,540,946.84 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 42nd District (CA-42) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Labor. The district-wide obligation total published here is $15,223,121,445.88; $49,540,946.84 is the Labor slice of that denominator.
Why this is not an outlay register
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $49,540,946.84 is that kind of sum for Department of Labor inside CA-42 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $49,540,946.84 as given.

Keep Department of Labor, California 42nd District (CA-42), $49,540,946.84, and 1 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without a CA-42 filter. California federal spending is the California parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Labor does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
