Department of Labor federal obligations in Montana

One USAspending cell: Department of Labor and Montana

This page is a join: Department of Labor as awarding agency 1601, Montana as place of performance. The published cell is $204,984,080.93. That number does not describe every Labor bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Montana. Workforce, training, and labor-program folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 116 — a compact award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of grantees. Names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Instruments behind 116 rows

About $1,767,104.15 per award is $204,984,080.93 ÷ 116. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of grantees. Workforce, training, and labor-program folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Job-training, wage-hour, and employment-service folklore may explain a click. It does not add dollars, awards, or grantees to the extract. Keep the published pair at $204,984,080.93 and 116.

Neighbor-coded work is excluded

Department of Labor is Department of Labor without a state filter. Montana federal spending is Montana without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide Labor book as if it were Montana's $204,984,080.93 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Billings, Missoula, and Helena is published here. Awards coded to North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, or Idaho are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Billings.

De-obligations are not in this packet

$204,984,080.93 records commitments tagged to Department of Labor and Montana. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

116 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use Department of Labor in Montana for the live table.

No contractor roster in this packet

The join is descriptive. $204,984,080.93 does not prove that Montana received too much or too little Labor money, and it does not prove that Labor activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of Labor obligations in Montana and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

Where Department of Labor in Montana sits among other ties

Cite both sides: Department of Labor (agency 1601) and Montana. Then cite $204,984,080.93 and 116. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Billings, Missoula, and Helena. Skip invented grantees.

The 116 figure is not a count of grantees and is not a count of distinct Labor programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $1,767,104.15 is not a typical workforce or training award. Billings is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/mt/agencies/1601/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-labor-in-montana/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $204,984,080.93 or 116, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $204,984,080.93, 116 awards, agency 1601, Department of Labor, Montana (MT), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $204,984,080.93. Department of Labor in Montana remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Montana is statewide; it does not split Billings, Missoula, and Helena. Neighbor-coded activity in North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, or Idaho stays out even if mail is handled in Billings. Correlation is not causation. Workforce, training, and labor-program 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. High-plains, mountain-west, and capital-city 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. Montana's $204,984,080.93 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Labor and call the difference 'Montana 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 Montana 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 $204,984,080.93.
