Department of Labor federal obligations in Texas

Labor awards tagged to Texas

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Texas as place-of-performance: 355 records summing to $4,004,514,466.78. A Department of Labor award coded outside TX is out. An award in Texas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas. An Oklahoma-coded Labor award stays on that other join.

Three hundred fifty-five awards against $4,004,514,466.78 is a thin-to-mid Labor file, close in row count to New York’s Labor cell but a different geography key. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 355 as 355 unique unique workers, UI claims, or apprenticeship seats. Department of Labor in Texas is the both-keys table. Texas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without a TX filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This Texas Labor join is agency 1601, not Commerce 013 and not PBGC 1602. Those Texas or New York cells are other pages. Correlation is not causation: Texas did not cause $4,004,514,466.78 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × TX only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

Award rows are not unique workers

$4,004,514,466.78 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 a TX place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 355 awards as a census of unique workers, UI claims, or apprenticeship seats. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Texas federal spending or Department of Labor matched $4,004,514,466.78 and 355, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico Labor joins are other pairs, not addends.

Texas statewide, not an energy-workforce map

Place of performance TX is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas. An Oklahoma-coded Labor award stays on that other join. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This Texas Labor join is agency 1601, not Commerce 013 and not PBGC 1602. Those Texas or New York cells are other pages. This packet does not split $4,004,514,466.78 by city, county, or named facility. 355 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Commitments, not paychecks already cleared

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $4,004,514,466.78 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Texas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Texas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 355-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 $4,004,514,466.78. The compact headline $4.00 billion is that same dollar total rounded, not a second extract.

Citing Labor in Texas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $4,004,514,466.78 on 355 awards coded to Texas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique workers, UI claims, or apprenticeship seats.

Prefer Department of Labor in Texas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Texas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to TX. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the TX filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $4,004,514,466.78. The implied mean near $11.28 million is $4,004,514,466.78 divided by 355. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
