Department of Labor obligations in Texas 3rd District (TX-03)

Department of Labor and Texas 3rd District (TX-03) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 1601 and congressional district TX-03 meet here. $136,899,924.23 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 Texas 3rd District (TX-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Labor agencies or contract versus assistance instruments. 4 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a job-training caseload, an unemployment-claim count, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $136,899,924.23 by 4 yields about $34,224,981.06 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. Four awards against a one-hundred-thirty-seven-million-dollar Labor cell is a thin file with a large implied mean. The packet still does not name grantees. Do not treat TX-03’s 1601 cell as a synonym for every Labor account nationwide. Open Texas 3rd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Labor for agency 1601 without the TX-03 filter, Texas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $136,899,924.23.

How USAspending labels Department of Labor

USAspending labels awarding agency 1601 as Department of Labor. That code produced $136,899,924.23 when crossed with Texas 3rd District (TX-03) place of performance. The agency-wide 1601 hub does not require TX-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 Labor agencies or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 3rd District (TX-03) did not “cause” $136,899,924.23 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × TX-03 only. It is not a job-training caseload, an unemployment-claim count, 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.

Geography is TX-03, not a facility map

Texas 3rd District (TX-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 1601. Texas 3rd District (TX-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 1601. Texas 3rd District (TX-03) is a high-dollar place-of-performance geography. Other Texas districts, including Justice cells on TX-24 and TX-33, are different joins.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 1601 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $136,899,924.23 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 3rd District (TX-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 $12,447,319,222.47; $136,899,924.23 is the Labor slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $136,899,924.23 is that kind of sum for Department of Labor inside TX-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 $136,899,924.23 as given.

Keep the obligation word. If Texas 3rd District or Department of Labor has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows.

Share, mean, and what they are not

Four awards against a one-hundred-thirty-seven-million-dollar Labor cell is a thin file with a large implied mean. The packet still does not name grantees. 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 $34,224,981.06) and the district share (1.1% of $12,447,319,222.47) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 3rd District and Department of Labor if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Texas 3rd District (TX-03) as more Labor-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 1601 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 1601 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $136,899,924.23 and 4 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Is $136,899,924.23 cash already paid in Texas 3rd District (TX-03)?
