Department of Labor obligations in Illinois 4th District (IL-04)

The Illinois 4th District (IL-04) filter on Labor

Awarding agency 1601 and congressional district IL-04 meet here. $111,749,917.08 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 Illinois 4th District (IL-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Labor agencies or contract versus assistance instruments. 5 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a job-training caseload, an unemployment-claim count, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $111,749,917.08 by 5 yields about $22,349,983.42 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. Five awards against a one-hundred-twelve-million-dollar Labor cell is a thin file. Do not invent five named training vendors; recipients are unpublished. Do not treat IL-04’s 1601 cell as a synonym for every Labor account nationwide. Open Illinois 4th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Labor for agency 1601 without the IL-04 filter, Illinois federal spending for every awarding agency in the Illinois extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $111,749,917.08.

The Department of Labor awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 1601 as Department of Labor. That code produced $111,749,917.08 when crossed with Illinois 4th District (IL-04) place of performance. The agency-wide 1601 hub does not require IL-04 geography. The district hub does not require Labor. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 5 awards. The packet does not split Labor agencies or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Illinois 4th District (IL-04) did not “cause” $111,749,917.08 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × IL-04 only. It is not a job-training caseload, an unemployment-claim count, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Reading the IL-04 stamp

Illinois 4th District (IL-04) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list IL-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Illinois districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 1601. Illinois 4th District (IL-04) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Illinois. Other Illinois districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 1601. Illinois 4th District (IL-04) also hosts a Treasury cell on a separate tie. Those Department of the Treasury dollars are not this Labor join. Place of performance is IL-04.

Illinois federal spending shows how agency 1601 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $111,749,917.08 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Illinois 4th District (IL-04) 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 $818,561,584.62; $111,749,917.08 is the Labor slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $111,749,917.08 is that kind of sum for Department of Labor inside IL-04 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 $111,749,917.08 as given.

Illinois’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 5-row Labor cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 5 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($22,349,983.42) is a concentration statistic, not a typical IL-04 Labor payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration

Five awards against a one-hundred-twelve-million-dollar Labor cell is a thin file. Do not invent five named training vendors; recipients are unpublished. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $22,349,983.42) and the district share (13.7% of $818,561,584.62) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Illinois 4th District and Department of Labor if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much Labor spending is coded to Illinois 4th District (IL-04)?

USAspending.gov lists $111,749,917.08 in Department of Labor obligations across 5 awards with place of performance in Illinois 4th District (IL-04). Agency 1601 × IL-04 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Illinois’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 13.7% of the district’s published total ($818,561,584.62). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $22,349,983.42, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $111,749,917.08 include every Labor program in IL-04?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Labor agencies or contract versus assistance instruments. $111,749,917.08 is the combined obligation sum for agency 1601 inside IL-04 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Labor and Illinois 4th District to inspect parent tables. 5 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $111,749,917.08 cash already paid in Illinois 4th District (IL-04)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $111,749,917.08 as checks already cleared in Illinois 4th District (IL-04) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 5 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $22,349,983.42 not a typical award?

The average is $111,749,917.08 divided by 5 awards, about $22,349,983.42. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
