Awarding-agency 1601 meeting West Virginia
This page is a JOIN of two keys: Department of Labor on the agency side and West Virginia on the state side. The packet stores $437,572,482.17 and 188 awards. Records coded to another state, or to another awarding agency inside West Virginia, belong on other overlays. West Virginia (WV) excludes Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Maryland. A Charleston-coded award with a Kentucky place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
The row count 188 can include continuations and modifications. It is not 188 unique unemployment claims, mine-inspection counts, or named training sites. 188 awards against $437,572,482.17 is a 188-award labor file on awarding-agency 1601, not a claims census. Department of Labor in West Virginia is the overlay for this pair. West Virginia federal spending remains the statewide hub. Department of Labor remains the agency parent. All spending ties lists other joins.
Code 1601 is the awarding-agency key here, not 016. Shared Labor display names on other codes are other pages. A large or small state population is not in this packet and does not explain $437,572,482.17. Correlation is not causation. Stay on 1601 × WV.
Labor folklore is unpublished on this join
$437,572,482.17 does not measure unemployment claims, mine-inspection counts, or named training sites. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an WV place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 188 awards as a census of unemployment claims, mine-inspection counts, or named training sites. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If West Virginia federal spending or Department of Labor matched $437,572,482.17 and 188, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Labor 1601 joins are other pairs, not addends.
West Virginia, not a coalfields-only map
Statewide means statewide: this packet does not publish a city split. West Virginia (WV) excludes Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Maryland. A Charleston-coded award with a Kentucky place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from the place-of-performance tag.
This packet does not split $437,572,482.17 by city, county, or named facility. 188 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
One hundred eighty-eight obligations
An obligation can sit on the books before cash moves. Treating $437,572,482.17 as money already spent in West Virginia relabels the series. Deobligations and upward adjustments both change the total. Outlays are a different concept.
West Virginia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 188 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 $437,572,482.17. Sharing a geography with Department of Labor does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing the Department of Labor in West Virginia
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $437,572,482.17 on 188 awards coded to West Virginia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unemployment claims, mine-inspection counts, or named training sites.
Prefer Department of Labor in West Virginia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. West Virginia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WV. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the WV filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $437,572,482.17.
A usable footnote names Department of Labor, West Virginia, $437,572,482.17, and 188. The compact headline $437.6M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,327,513.20 is $437,572,482.17 divided by 188. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
