Department of Labor federal obligations in Michigan

Labor awards tagged to Michigan

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency Department of Labor (code 1601) and place-of-performance Michigan. The extract sums to $2,032,980,869.95 on 208 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that Department of Labor spending caused Michigan outcomes, or that Michigan caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a Detroit auto-employment index or a union-membership census. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a Lansing pass-through, a training site, or an enforcement office. Work tagged to Michigan can involve parties elsewhere, and Michigan work can be coded to another state.

Auto-production statistics, UI claims, and BLS establishment surveys are other series. Mixing any of those series with $2,032,980,869.95 leaves the USAspending award file. The 208 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Two hundred eight awards under $2.03 billion

Two hundred eight awards under a $2.03 billion book is a thin file relative to the dollars. Dividing $2,032,980,869.95 by 208 awards yields an implied mean near $9,773,946. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 208 and $2,032,980,869.95. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $9,773,946 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $2,032,980,869.95 and 208. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Michigan.

Michigan statewide versus Labor nationwide

Michigan’s all-agency hub includes every awarding agency with performance in the state. $2,032,980,869.95 is only the Department of Labor cell inside Michigan. The Department of Labor national hub includes every state. This tie is the overlap, nothing more.

State budget documents in Michigan answer a different question. They are not the source of the 208 federal award records. If a chart mixes a General Fund table with this cell, the chart has left the USAspending.gov series.

Michigan’s industrial mix can tempt readers to treat $2,032,980,869.95 as an auto-rescue total. The packet does not support that reading. Agency 1601 × Michigan is an award-file cell on 208 rows. Program splits are omitted. The implied mean near $9,773,946 is a blended ratio.

Obligation timing on Labor vehicles

An obligation records a legal commitment on an award. An outlay records cash leaving the Treasury. $2,032,980,869.95 is the first series. Using it as a proxy for checks already issued in Michigan will misstate timing. SpendingVault does not convert this cell into cash.

Multi-year vehicles can remain open after the obligation posts. Cite the pair as agency 1601 × Michigan, $2,032,980,869.95, 208 awards, obligations only.

Overlay, state hub, and agency hub

The Michigan × Department of Labor overlay holds the structured rows behind 208 awards and $2,032,980,869.95. The Michigan state page and the Department of Labor agency page are the parents. The ties index lists other state–agency pairs on the same obligation basis.

Those views do not add a program-code mix or a unique-recipient count this packet omits. They also do not convert $2,032,980,869.95 into outlays.

How to cite Labor in Michigan

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (awarding agency 1601) obligated $2,032,980,869.95 on 208 awards coded to Michigan. Keep both sides of the join. Do not drop Michigan and call the figure a national Labor total. Do not drop Department of Labor and call it Michigan’s entire federal book.

The implied mean near $9,773,946 remains a ratio of two packet facts. Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete map of Michigan subcontractors. Do not convert the Michigan Labor cell into an auto-industry score.
