Department of Labor federal obligations in Iowa

Agency 1601 meeting Iowa

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Iowa as place-of-performance: 136 awards summing to $498,484,346.08. A Department of Labor award coded outside IA is out. An award in Iowa from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. A Des Moines-coded award with a Nebraska place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

136 awards against $498,484,346.08 is a 136-award labor file, slightly thicker than Hawaii’s DOL join. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 136 as 136 unique unemployment claims, training enrollments, or named job sites. Department of Labor in Iowa is the both-keys table. Iowa federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without a IA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Awarding-agency 1601 is the Department of Labor key here as well. State UI ledgers are not this extract. Unique training vendors are unpublished. Do not invent them. Correlation is not causation: Iowa did not cause $498,484,346.08 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × IA only.

A DOL cell is not a claims register

$498,484,346.08 does not measure unemployment claims, training enrollments, or named job sites. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an IA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 136 awards as a census of unemployment claims, training enrollments, or named job sites. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Iowa federal spending or Department of Labor matched $498,484,346.08 and 136, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOL joins are other pairs, not addends.

Iowa, not a Des Moines-only map

Place of performance IA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. A Des Moines-coded award with a Nebraska place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $498,484,346.08 by city, county, or named facility. 136 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One hundred thirty-six obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $498,484,346.08 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Iowa confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Iowa’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 136 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 $498,484,346.08.

Citing DOL in Iowa

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $498,484,346.08 on 136 awards coded to Iowa. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unemployment claims, training enrollments, or named job sites.

Prefer Department of Labor in Iowa if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Iowa federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to IA. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the IA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $498,484,346.08.

A usable footnote names Department of Labor, Iowa, $498,484,346.08, and 136. The compact headline $498.5M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3,665,326.07 is $498,484,346.08 divided by 136. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
