How Department of Labor and North Dakota meet
This page is a join: Department of Labor as awarding agency 1601, North Dakota as place of performance. The published cell is $156,551,887.53. That number does not describe every Department of Labor bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in North Dakota. Workforce, unemployment-insurance, and wage folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.
The award count is 82 — 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 unique workforce boards or contractors. Names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

A compact 82-row Labor file
82 rows totaling $156,551,887.53 can be read as a mid-size administrative file. That reading still does not name unique workforce boards or contractors or convert the mean of about $1,909,169.36 into a typical workforce or labor-program award.
USAspending.gov remains the filing source. This page copies the join; it does not rebuild the award table.
Fargo is not a published geography grain
Department of Labor is Department of Labor without a state filter. North Dakota federal spending is North Dakota without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide DOL book as if it were North Dakota's $156,551,887.53 cell is a misread of the join.
No metro split of Fargo, Bismarck, and Minot is published here. Awards coded to Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Fargo. The overlay path already encodes both the state tag and agency 1601.
Agency 1601 without a fiscal-year split
$156,551,887.53 records commitments tagged to Department of Labor and North Dakota. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.
82 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 North Dakota for the live table. Agency 1601 is the awarding-agency key stored on that overlay.
Do not invent Labor vendors
The join is descriptive. $156,551,887.53 does not prove that North Dakota received too much or too little Department of Labor money, and it does not prove that Department of 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 North Dakota and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them. Unique workforce boards or contractors are unpublished here, so none are invented.
Where Department of Labor in North Dakota sits
Department of Labor in North Dakota remains the place to verify the live rows. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $156,551,887.53. Place-of-performance North Dakota is statewide; it does not split Fargo, Bismarck, and Minot. Neighbor-coded activity in Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota stays out even if mail is handled in Fargo. Correlation is not causation. Workforce, unemployment-insurance, and wage 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. Prairie, bakken, and red-river 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 DOL budget on this page. North Dakota's $156,551,887.53 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Labor and call the difference 'North Dakota 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 North Dakota overlay; the numeric key is 1601. Readers who only remember the short name DOL still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $156,551,887.53. The 82 figure is not a count of unique workforce boards or contractors and is not a count of distinct DOL programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $1,909,169.36 is not a typical workforce or labor-program award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/nd/agencies/1601/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-labor-in-north-dakota/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $156,551,887.53 or 82, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $156,551,887.53, 82 awards, agency 1601, Department of Labor, North Dakota (ND), and the obligation unit.
