Labor and Economic Development
Labor and Economic Development: This category consists of the Department of Labor, Department of Economic Development, and the Rural Development Commission.
An example of Cash Funds spending in this category is the Travel and Tourism Division, which is funded through a one percent lodging tax.
(Note: The spike in Federal Funds in FY 09-10 and FY 10-11 was due primarily to two factors: increased unemployment payouts during the recession, and increased funding for the Community and Rural Development/Aid program.)
Full list of agencies included:
- Economic Development
- Economic Opportunity Comm
- Labor
- Rural Development Comm
(Note: Some agencies listed may have been eliminated or merged, but are included in the category in previous years.)
