Labor obligations coded to Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08)
This page is a join: Department of Labor and Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08). $125,843,374.64 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Pennsylvania's statewide Department of Labor book, not the nationwide Department of Labor total, and not cash already paid. Pennsylvania 8th District is the district parent. Department of Labor is the agency parent. Correlation is not causation.
2 is an award-action count. Modifications and delivery orders can add rows. Unique vendors are unpublished. Dividing $125,843,374.64 by 2 yields about $62,921,687.32 per award, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these obligations. 2 is a thin award file. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors.
Department of Labor as awarding agency 1601
Agency 1601 is Department of Labor. Two awards is a thin file. This page will not invent the two recipients. NSF overlays for Pennsylvania 12th and Pennsylvania 3rd are other agencies. Confusing this join with Pennsylvania statewide Labor totals or the Pennsylvania NSF overlays would be a different overlay. Packet facts on the agency side are the name Department of Labor, code 1601, and the join dollars $125,843,374.64. Any other recipient or installation list would be invented.
Department of Labor drops the district filter. Other districts with Department of Labor awards are other ties. This page quotes only Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08). A two-row Labor file can be dominated by large instruments. Do not rank PA-08 as a jobs winner. FEC donations do not fund these obligations.
Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) as place of performance
Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) is a congressional geography stamp, not a labor-market ranking. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties. Place of performance PA-08 is a geography field in the award file. It does not prove residency of workers or vendors. Pennsylvania federal spending is the statewide parent and includes other districts.
The district's all-agency obligation total is $10,607,796,907.86. $125,843,374.64 is the Department of Labor slice of that book, about 1.2%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on Pennsylvania 8th District, not inside this join. District 90/98 multi and non-voting placeholders are omitted from this harvest by design.
Two award rows and a concentrated dollar cell
2 awards against $125,843,374.64 implies about $62,921,687.32 per award. That mean is not a unit price and not a jobs figure. With 2 rows, a few large instruments can dominate. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as 2 finished projects. All spending ties lists other pairs. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.
What the Labor × PA-08 pair cannot prove
An obligation is a legal commitment. $125,843,374.64 is that kind of sum for Department of Labor inside PA-08 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) over-reads the field. Do not rank Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) as a winner or loser versus other districts. Keep both sides in the citation: Department of Labor and Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08).
