Department of Labor obligations in Maryland 2nd District (MD-02)
Place-of-performance MD-02 crossed with Department of Labor (agency 1601) yields $95,987,583.36 in USAspending.gov obligations on 7 awards. Seven Labor-coded awards equal a thin slice of the district denominator. That pair is Department of Labor and Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) — not Maryland’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Labor nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 0.3% of this district’s published obligation total ($31,874,433,614.85). Implied average obligation is about $13,712,511.91 ($95,987,583.36 ÷ 7). Correlation is not causation.

Reading the MD-02 × agency 1601 pair
Awarding agency 1601 and congressional district MD-02 meet here. $95,987,583.36 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 Maryland 2nd District (MD-02), 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. 7 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a job-placement census, an unemployment-check register, or a named-grantee file.
Dividing $95,987,583.36 by 7 yields about $13,712,511.91 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical training grant, wage-hour penalty, or weekly UI line. Seven awards is a small award file. Do not treat MD-02’s 1601 cell as a synonym for every Labor account nationwide. Open Maryland 2nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Labor for agency 1601 without the MD-02 filter, Maryland federal spending for every awarding agency in the Maryland extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $95,987,583.36.
Awarding-agency 1601 versus this tie
USAspending labels awarding agency 1601 as Department of Labor. That code produced $95,987,583.36 when crossed with Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 1601 hub does not require MD-02 geography. The district hub does not require Labor. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 7 awards. The packet does not split Employment and Training Administration, OSHA, or other Labor components, and it does not split contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) did not cause $95,987,583.36 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × MD-02 only. This cell is not a job-placement census, an unemployment-check register, 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.
Congressional district MD-02 on USAspending
Maryland federal spending shows how agency 1601 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $95,987,583.36 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) 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 $31,874,433,614.85; $95,987,583.36 is the Labor slice of that denominator.
Deobligations, recoveries, and this snapshot
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $95,987,583.36 is that kind of sum for Department of Labor inside MD-02 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 $95,987,583.36 as given.
Maryland’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 7-row Labor cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 7 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 ($13,712,511.91) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-02 Labor payment.
Snapshot rows and later ingests
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $95,987,583.36 on 7 awards coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02). Name Department of Labor and Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 2nd District or Department of Labor has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a job-placement census, an unemployment-check register, or a named-grantee file. 0.3% of $31,874,433,614.85 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Department of Labor, Maryland 2nd District (MD-02), $95,987,583.36, and 7 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without a MD-02 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland 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.
FEC tables do not fund this cell
Seven awards is a small award file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them. Unique 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 $13,712,511.91) and the district share (0.3% of $31,874,433,614.85) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 2nd District and Department of Labor if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much Labor spending is coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02)?
- USAspending.gov lists $95,987,583.36 in Labor (agency 1601) obligations across 7 awards coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 0.3% of the district’s published total ($31,874,433,614.85). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does this include every Department of Labor program in MD-02?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup for agency 1601. It does not split DOL components or contract versus assistance. $95,987,583.36 is the combined obligation sum inside MD-02 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 7 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $95,987,583.36 cash already paid in Maryland 2nd District (MD-02)?
- 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 $95,987,583.36 as checks already cleared in Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 7 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Is Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) ranked against other Maryland districts here?
- No. This page does not rank Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) as a winner or loser. $95,987,583.36 and 7 describe one join. Neighboring districts have their own cells. District 90/98 placeholders are omitted. Cite Department of Labor and Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) together without a league table.
