Department of Labor federal obligations in Missouri

What the Labor–Missouri join is

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Missouri as place-of-performance: 163 records summing to $965,386,320.22. A Department of Labor award coded outside MO is out. An award in Missouri from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Missouri (MO) excludes Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. An East St. Louis-coded award is Illinois even if the river story sounds similar.

One hundred sixty-three awards against $965,386,320.22 is a thin Labor book. The implied mean is large and is not a typical project size. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 163 as 163 unique job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. The overlay Department of Labor in Missouri is the both-keys table. Missouri federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an MO filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield share one MO stamp. ETA, OSHA, and other Labor components can share awarding-agency 1601 without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: Missouri did not cause $965,386,320.22 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × MO only.

163 actions are not 163 training centers

$965,386,320.22 does not measure job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an MO place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 163 awards as a census of job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Missouri federal spending or Department of Labor matched $965,386,320.22 and 163, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state Labor joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $965,386,320.22 by 163 yields about $5,922,615.46 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Labor line and not a published median.

Missouri, not a bi-state Labor rollup

Place of performance MO is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Missouri (MO) excludes Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. An East St. Louis-coded award is Illinois even if the river story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield share one MO stamp. This packet does not split $965,386,320.22 by city, county, or named facility. 163 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

A short Labor list, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $965,386,320.22 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Missouri confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Missouri's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 163-award 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 $965,386,320.22.

What this pair does not prove

A large Labor total in Missouri does not mean the agency caused Missouri's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $965,386,320.22 labeled as agency 1601 obligations with Missouri place of performance. Neighbor Labor cells among Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nebraska, and Oklahoma are separate joins. This page does not rank Missouri as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $965,386,320.22. Place-of-performance MO can differ from a vendor mailroom. An East St. Louis-coded award is Illinois even if the river story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $965,386,320.22 and 163 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 1601 crossed with Missouri.

How to cite the Missouri–Labor pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $965,386,320.22 on 163 awards coded to Missouri. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions.

Prefer Department of Labor in Missouri if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Missouri federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MO. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the MO filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $965,386,320.22.

A usable footnote names Department of Labor, Missouri, $965,386,320.22, and 163. The implied mean near $5,922,615.46 is $965,386,320.22 divided by 163. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
