Department of Labor federal obligations in Mississippi

USAspending's Department of Labor × Mississippi aggregate

$756,956,300.34 attaches to awards that list both Department of Labor (agency 1601) and Mississippi geography. Drop either filter and the total changes. Job-training, ui administration, and workforce-board folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. The join does not rank Mississippi against other states.

161 is a record count on the Labor–Mississippi overlay, not a headcount of state workforce agencies. 161 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a modest award list beside a large obligation total. This narrative does not invent contractor names.

Open Department of Labor in Mississippi for the filtered table, Mississippi federal spending for the next hub, Department of Labor for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Average versus typical workforce or unemployment-insurance admin award

The mean obligation of about $4,701,591.93 is arithmetic only. A modest award list can hide one large action among smaller modifications. Readers who need instrument type should use the overlay table, not this narrative. No contractor is named here because none appears in the packet facts.

If a later ingest restates $756,956,300.34, the join definition stays the same: agency 1601 plus Mississippi place of performance. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Mississippi is a geography tag, not a metro split

Drop the Mississippi geography tag and agency 1601 still has a national total on Department of Labor. Drop the agency tag and Mississippi still has a multi-agency total on Mississippi federal spending. Neither hub equals $756,956,300.34 on its own.

Jackson, Gulfport, and Oxford are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals. The geography key is statewide Mississippi. Headquarters folklore about Jackson does not move $756,956,300.34.

De-obligations are not in this packet

$756,956,300.34 records commitments tagged to Department of Labor and Mississippi. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

Keep the obligation word in every reuse of $756,956,300.34. Mississippi federal spending and Department of Labor use the same unit on their own filters. Mixing units across hubs produces a false statewide cash story.

FEC filings are a different dataset

Job-training, ui administration, and workforce-board folklore plus Gulf-coast and Delta folklore can look like a story. The published facts are only $756,956,300.34, 161 awards, agency 1601, and Mississippi. Anything else is outside the extract.

Do not claim that donations paid for $756,956,300.34 in Mississippi. The source is USAspending.gov award aggregates. FEC tables are out of scope for this join.

Repeating $756,956,300.34 with both filters named

If you need a one-line caption, use: Labor agency 1601 × Mississippi = $756,956,300.34 across 161 awards (obligations, USAspending.gov). That caption already names both join sides and the unit.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $756,956,300.34. Department of Labor in Mississippi remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Mississippi is statewide; it does not split Jackson from Gulfport or Oxford. Neighbor-coded training delivery in Alabama or Louisiana stays out. Correlation is not causation. Job-training, ui administration, and workforce-board folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Gulf-coast and delta folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 1601 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national Labor budget on this page. Mississippi's $756,956,300.34 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Labor and call the difference 'Mississippi versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Department of Labor is the awarding-agency label stored on the Mississippi overlay; the numeric key is 1601. Readers who only remember the short name Labor still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $756,956,300.34. The 161 figure is not a count of unique state workforce agencies and is not a count of distinct Labor awards. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $4,701,591.93 is not a typical workforce or unemployment-insurance admin award.
