Department of Labor federal obligations in New Mexico

Awarding-agency 1601 meeting New Mexico

Department of Labor as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 202 records summing to $601,041,991.81. A Department of Labor award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Utah. An Albuquerque-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

202 awards against $601,041,991.81 is a 202-award Labor file on awarding-agency 1601, mid-thin on rows against a large dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 202 as 202 unique jobs created, named job centers, or unemployment-insurance claims. Department of Labor in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Code 1601 is the awarding-agency key. Santa Fe and Las Cruces are unpublished splits. Do not invent named job centers. Unique recipients stay unpublished. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not cause $601,041,991.81 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × NM only.

Labor folklore is not a jobs census

$601,041,991.81 does not measure jobs created, named job centers, or unemployment-insurance claims. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 202 awards as a census of jobs created, named job centers, or unemployment-insurance claims. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or Department of Labor matched $601,041,991.81 and 202, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Labor joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Mexico, not an Albuquerque-Santa Fe map

Place of performance NM is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Utah. An Albuquerque-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $601,041,991.81 by city, county, or named facility. 202 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Two hundred two obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $601,041,991.81 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Mexico confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Mexico’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 202 awards 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 $601,041,991.81. Sharing a geography with Department of Labor does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Labor in New Mexico

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $601,041,991.81 on 202 awards coded to New Mexico. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as jobs created, named job centers, or unemployment-insurance claims.

Prefer Department of Labor in New Mexico if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Mexico federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NM. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the NM filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $601,041,991.81.

A usable footnote names Department of Labor, New Mexico, $601,041,991.81, and 202. The compact headline $601.0M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,975,455.40 is $601,041,991.81 divided by 202. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
