Department of Labor federal obligations in North Carolina

USAspending.gov records $1,561,163,314.95 in Department of Labor obligations with North Carolina place of performance, across 221 awards. Awarding-agency 1601 and North Carolina (NC) are the pair. Two hundred twenty-one awards against $1,561,163,314.95 is a thin, high-mean Labor file, close in dollars to Washington’s Labor cell and a different geography key. The implied mean is about $7.06 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

A thin Labor file on North Carolina

Department of Labor as awarding agency, North Carolina as place-of-performance: 221 records summing to $1,561,163,314.95. A Department of Labor award coded outside NC is out. An award in North Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A South Carolina-coded Labor award is not this cell.

Two hundred twenty-one awards against $1,561,163,314.95 is a thin, high-mean Labor file, close in dollars to Washington’s Labor cell and a different geography key. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 221 as 221 unique unique workers, UI claims, or apprenticeship seats. Department of Labor in North Carolina is the both-keys table. North Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an NC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Research Triangle and Charlotte folklore are unpublished. Agency 1601 is not EPA 068, which also has a North Carolina join here. Correlation is not causation: North Carolina did not cause $1,561,163,314.95 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × NC only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

221 rows are not 221 unique workers

$1,561,163,314.95 does not measure unique workers, UI claims, or apprenticeship seats. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an NC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 221 awards as a census of unique workers, UI claims, or apprenticeship seats. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Carolina federal spending or Department of Labor matched $1,561,163,314.95 and 221, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. South Carolina, Virginia, and the Washington Labor join in this slice are other pairs, not addends.

North Carolina, not a Carolinas workforce belt

Place of performance NC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A South Carolina-coded Labor award is not this cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Research Triangle and Charlotte folklore are unpublished. Agency 1601 is not EPA 068, which also has a North Carolina join here. This packet does not split $1,561,163,314.95 by city, county, or named facility. 221 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Training vehicles versus paychecks already cleared

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,561,163,314.95 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in North Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

North Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 221-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 $1,561,163,314.95. The compact headline $1.56 billion is that same dollar total rounded, not a second extract.

Citing Labor in North Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $1,561,163,314.95 on 221 awards coded to North Carolina. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique workers, UI claims, or apprenticeship seats.

Prefer Department of Labor in North Carolina if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. North Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NC. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the NC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,561,163,314.95. The implied mean near $7.06 million is $1,561,163,314.95 divided by 221. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
