Department of Labor federal obligations in Wisconsin

What the Labor–Wisconsin join is

Department of Labor as awarding agency, Wisconsin as place-of-performance: 179 records summing to $880,277,486.86. A Department of Labor award coded outside WI is out. An award in Wisconsin from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa. A Duluth-coded award is Minnesota even if the harbor story sounds similar.

One hundred seventy-nine awards against $880,277,486.86 is a thin Labor book. The implied mean is large and is not a typical project size. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 179 as 179 unique job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. The overlay Department of Labor in Wisconsin is the both-keys table. Wisconsin federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Labor is the agency book without an WI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay share one WI stamp. ETA, OSHA, and other Labor components can share awarding-agency 1601 without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: Wisconsin did not cause $880,277,486.86 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 1601 × WI only.

179 actions are not 179 training centers

$880,277,486.86 does not measure job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 1601 and an WI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 179 awards as a census of job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Wisconsin federal spending or Department of Labor matched $880,277,486.86 and 179, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state Labor joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $880,277,486.86 by 179 yields about $4,917,751.32 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Labor line and not a published median.

Wisconsin, not a Great Lakes Labor rollup

Place of performance WI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa. A Duluth-coded award is Minnesota even if the harbor story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay share one WI stamp. This packet does not split $880,277,486.86 by city, county, or named facility. 179 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

A short Labor list, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $880,277,486.86 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Wisconsin confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Wisconsin's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 179-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 $880,277,486.86.

What this pair does not prove

A large Labor total in Wisconsin does not mean the agency caused Wisconsin's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $880,277,486.86 labeled as agency 1601 obligations with Wisconsin place of performance. Neighbor Labor cells among Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa are separate joins. This page does not rank Wisconsin as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $880,277,486.86. Place-of-performance WI can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Duluth-coded award is Minnesota even if the harbor story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $880,277,486.86 and 179 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 1601 crossed with Wisconsin.

How to cite the Wisconsin–Labor pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Labor (agency 1601) obligated $880,277,486.86 on 179 awards coded to Wisconsin. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as job-training centers, unemployment offices, or unique unions.

Prefer Department of Labor in Wisconsin if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Wisconsin federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WI. Department of Labor is the 1601 parent without the WI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $880,277,486.86.

A usable footnote names Department of Labor, Wisconsin, $880,277,486.86, and 179. The implied mean near $4,917,751.32 is $880,277,486.86 divided by 179. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
