Department of Labor federal obligations in Utah
Department of Labor shows $605,120,155.15 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Utah, across 156 awards. Awarding-agency 1601 and Utah (UT) are the pair. 156 awards against $605,120,155.15 is a 156-award Labor file on awarding-agency 1601, thin on rows against a large dollar total. The implied mean is about $3,878,975.35 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
- The implied mean near $3,878,975.35 is $605,120,155.15 divided by 156, not a typical award.

Awarding-agency 1601 overlapping Utah
Department of Labor as awarding agency, Utah as place-of-performance: 156 records summing to $605,120,155.15. A Department of Labor award coded outside UT is out. An award in Utah from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Utah (UT) excludes Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. A Salt Lake City-coded award with a Nevada place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
156 awards against $605,120,155.15 is a 156-award Labor file on awarding-agency 1601, thin on rows against a large dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 156 as 156 unique jobs created, named job centers, or unemployment-insurance claims. Department of Labor in Utah is the both-keys table. Utah federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an UT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Code 1601 is the awarding-agency key. Provo and Ogden are unpublished splits. Do not invent named job centers. Unique recipients stay unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Utah did not cause $605,120,155.15 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × UT only.
Labor folklore is not a jobs census
$605,120,155.15 does not measure jobs created, named job centers, or unemployment-insurance claims. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an UT place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 156 awards as a census of jobs created, named job centers, or unemployment-insurance claims. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Utah federal spending or Department of Labor matched $605,120,155.15 and 156, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Labor joins are other pairs, not addends.
Utah, not a Wasatch Front-only map
Place of performance UT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Utah (UT) excludes Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. A Salt Lake City-coded award with a Nevada place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $605,120,155.15 by city, county, or named facility. 156 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
One hundred fifty-six obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $605,120,155.15 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Utah confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Utah’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 156 awards 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 $605,120,155.15. Sharing a geography with Department of Labor does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing Labor in Utah
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $605,120,155.15 on 156 awards coded to Utah. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as jobs created, named job centers, or unemployment-insurance claims.
Prefer Department of Labor in Utah if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Utah federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to UT. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the UT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $605,120,155.15.
A usable footnote names Department of Labor, Utah, $605,120,155.15, and 156. The compact headline $605.1M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3,878,975.35 is $605,120,155.15 divided by 156. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
