A place-of-performance join: Labor × NJ-06
Awarding agency 1601 and congressional district NJ-06 meet here. $115,256,561.52 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Labor’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Employment and Training Administration, OSHA, or other Labor components, and it does not split contract versus assistance instruments. 12 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a job-placement census, an unemployment-check register, or a named-grantee file.
Dividing $115,256,561.52 by 12 yields about $9,604,713.46 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical training grant, wage-hour penalty, or weekly UI line. Twelve awards is a small award file. Do not treat NJ-06’s 1601 cell as a synonym for every Labor account nationwide. Open New Jersey 6th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Labor for agency 1601 without the NJ-06 filter, New Jersey federal spending for every awarding agency in the New Jersey extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $115,256,561.52.
Department of Labor as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list
USAspending labels awarding agency 1601 as Department of Labor. That code produced $115,256,561.52 when crossed with New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06) place of performance. The agency-wide 1601 hub does not require NJ-06 geography. The district hub does not require Labor. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 12 awards. The packet does not split Employment and Training Administration, OSHA, or other Labor components, and it does not split contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06) did not cause $115,256,561.52 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × NJ-06 only. This cell is not a job-placement census, an unemployment-check register, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Place of performance for New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06)
New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list NJ-06 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other New Jersey districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 1601. New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside New Jersey. Other New Jersey districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 1601.
Obligation math for this join
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $115,256,561.52 is that kind of sum for Department of Labor inside NJ-06 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $115,256,561.52 as given.
New Jersey’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 12-row Labor cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 12 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($9,604,713.46) is a concentration statistic, not a typical NJ-06 Labor payment.
What a complete citation includes
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $115,256,561.52 on 12 awards coded to New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06). Name Department of Labor and New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06) together. Keep the obligation word. If New Jersey 6th District or Department of Labor has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a job-placement census, an unemployment-check register, or a named-grantee file. 2.3% of $5,022,611,062 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
What this packet refuses to infer
Twelve awards is a small award file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them. Unique recipients are unpublished. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $9,604,713.46) and the district share (2.3% of $5,022,611,062) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer New Jersey 6th District and Department of Labor if the live tables moved.
Do not rank New Jersey 6th District (NJ-06) as more Labor-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 1601 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 1601 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $115,256,561.52 and 12 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation. Workforce outcomes, claimant counts, and inspection caseloads are unpublished here.
