Department of Labor obligations in Oregon 3rd District (OR-03)
Place-of-performance OR-03 crossed with Department of Labor (agency 1601) yields $64,173,682.08 in USAspending.gov obligations on 4 awards. Four Labor-coded awards equal a small share of the district denominator. That pair is Department of Labor and Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) — not Oregon’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Labor nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 2.6% of this district’s published obligation total ($2,455,265,096.03). Implied average obligation is about $16,043,420.52 ($64,173,682.08 ÷ 4). Correlation is not causation.

Reading the OR-03 × agency 1601 pair
Awarding agency 1601 and congressional district OR-03 meet here. $64,173,682.08 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 Oregon 3rd District (OR-03), 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. 4 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $64,173,682.08 by 4 yields about $16,043,420.52 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical training grant, wage-hour penalty, or weekly UI line. Four awards is a thin award file. Do not treat OR-03’s 1601 cell as a synonym for every Labor account nationwide. Open Oregon 3rd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Labor for agency 1601 without the OR-03 filter, Oregon federal spending for every awarding agency in the Oregon extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $64,173,682.08.
Awarding-agency 1601 versus this tie
USAspending labels awarding agency 1601 as Department of Labor. That code produced $64,173,682.08 when crossed with Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) place of performance. The agency-wide 1601 hub does not require OR-03 geography. The district hub does not require Labor. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 4 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: Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) did not cause $64,173,682.08 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × OR-03 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.
Congressional district OR-03 on USAspending
Oregon federal spending shows how agency 1601 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $64,173,682.08 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Labor. The district-wide obligation total published here is $2,455,265,096.03; $64,173,682.08 is the Labor slice of that denominator.
Deobligations, recoveries, and this snapshot
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $64,173,682.08 is that kind of sum for Department of Labor inside OR-03 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 $64,173,682.08 as given.
Oregon’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 4-row Labor cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 4 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 ($16,043,420.52) is a concentration statistic, not a typical OR-03 Labor payment.
Snapshot rows and later ingests
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $64,173,682.08 on 4 awards coded to Oregon 3rd District (OR-03). Name Department of Labor and Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) together. Keep the obligation word. If Oregon 3rd 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. 2.6% of $2,455,265,096.03 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Department of Labor, Oregon 3rd District (OR-03), $64,173,682.08, and 4 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without a OR-03 filter. Oregon federal spending is the Oregon parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Labor does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
FEC tables do not fund this cell
Four awards is a thin 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 $16,043,420.52) and the district share (2.6% of $2,455,265,096.03) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Oregon 3rd District and Department of Labor if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much Labor spending is coded to Oregon 3rd District (OR-03)?
- USAspending.gov lists $64,173,682.08 in Labor (agency 1601) obligations across 4 awards coded to Oregon 3rd District (OR-03). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Oregon’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.6% of the district’s published total ($2,455,265,096.03). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does this include every Department of Labor program in OR-03?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup for agency 1601. It does not split DOL components or contract versus assistance. $64,173,682.08 is the combined obligation sum inside OR-03 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 4 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $64,173,682.08 cash already paid in Oregon 3rd District (OR-03)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $64,173,682.08 as checks already cleared in Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 4 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Is Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) ranked against other Oregon districts here?
- No. This page does not rank Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) as a winner or loser. $64,173,682.08 and 4 describe one join. Neighboring districts have their own cells. District 90/98 placeholders are omitted. Cite Department of Labor and Oregon 3rd District (OR-03) together without a league table.
