Department of Labor federal obligations in Maine

Awarding-agency 1601 meeting Maine

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Maine as place-of-performance: 132 records summing to $387,896,014.95. A Department of Labor award coded outside ME is out. An award in Maine from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire, with other New England states stored as other keys. A Portland-coded award with a New Hampshire place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

132 awards against $387,896,014.95 is a 132-award labor file on 1601, similar in size to Arkansas’s Labor join. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 132 as 132 unique UI claims, named shipyards, or apprenticeship seats. Department of Labor in Maine is the both-keys table. Maine federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an ME filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Code 1601 is the awarding-agency key. A 016 overlay, if it exists elsewhere, is a different page. Correlation is not causation: Maine did not cause $387,896,014.95 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × ME only.

Workforce folklore is unpublished

$387,896,014.95 does not measure UI claims, named shipyards, or apprenticeship seats. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an ME place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 132 awards as a census of UI claims, named shipyards, or apprenticeship seats. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maine federal spending or Department of Labor matched $387,896,014.95 and 132, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Labor 1601 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Maine, not a Portland-only map

Place of performance ME is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire, with other New England states stored as other keys. A Portland-coded award with a New Hampshire place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $387,896,014.95 by city, county, or named facility. 132 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One hundred thirty-two Labor obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $387,896,014.95 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Maine confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Maine’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 132 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 $387,896,014.95. Sharing a geography with Department of Labor does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the Department of Labor in Maine

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $387,896,014.95 on 132 awards coded to Maine. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as UI claims, named shipyards, or apprenticeship seats.

Prefer Department of Labor in Maine if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Maine federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to ME. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the ME filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $387,896,014.95.

A usable footnote names Department of Labor, Maine, $387,896,014.95, and 132. The compact headline $387.9M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,938,606.17 is $387,896,014.95 divided by 132. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
