The purpose of the Department of Labor is to foster, promote, and
develop the welfare of the wage earners of the United States, to improve
their working conditions, and to advance their opportunities for
profitable employment. In carrying
[[Page 285]]
out this mission, the Department administers a variety of Federal labor
laws guaranteeing workers' rights to safe and healthful working
conditions, a minimum hourly wage and overtime pay, freedom from
employment discrimination, unemployment insurance, and workers'
compensation. The Department also protects workers' pension rights;
provides for job training programs; helps workers find jobs; works to
strengthen free collective bargaining; and keeps track of changes in
employment, prices, and other national economic measurements. As the
Department seeks to assist all Americans who need and want to work,
special efforts are made to meet the unique job market problems of older
workers, youths, minority group members, women, the handicapped, and
other groups.
The Department of Labor (DOL) was created by act of March 4, 1913 (29
U.S.C. 551). A Bureau of Labor was first created by Congress in 1884
under the Interior Department. The Bureau of Labor later became
independent as a Department of Labor without executive rank. It again
returned to bureau status in the Department of Commerce and Labor, which
was created by act of February 14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1501).
Secretary The Secretary is the principal adviser to the President on
the development and execution of policies and the administration and
enforcement of laws relating to wage earners, their working conditions,
and their employment opportunities.
Women's Bureau The Women's Bureau is responsible for formulating
standards and policies that promote the welfare of wage earning women,
improve their working conditions, increase their efficiency, and advance
their opportunities for profitable employment.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration
The Administration, headed by the Assistant Secretary for Occupational
Safety and Health, sets and enforces workplace safety and health
standards and assists employers in complying with those standards. The
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), created pursuant
to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.), has established a four-fold focus: firm and fair enforcement of
safety and health rules; partnership with States running their own OSHA-
approved programs and with employers and employees interested in
developing effective workplace safety and health programs; efficient
promulgation of new rules that are clear and easy to understand and
follow; and increased outreach and training to help employers and
employees eliminate safety and health hazards.

Bureau of Labor Statistics
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the principal fact-finding
agency of the Federal Government in the broad field of labor economics
and statistics. The Bureau is an independent national statistical agency
that collects, processes, analyzes, and disseminates essential
statistical data to the American public, Congress, other Federal
agencies, State and local governments, businesses, and labor. BLS also
serves as a statistical resource to the Department of Labor. Data are
available relating to employment, unemployment, and other
characteristics of the labor force; consumer and producer prices,
consumer expenditures, and import and export prices; wages and employee
benefits; productivity and technological change; employment projections;
occupational illness and injuries; and international comparisons of
labor statistics. Most of the data are collected in surveys conducted by
the Bureau, the Bureau of the Census (on a contract basis), or on a
cooperative basis with State agencies.
The Bureau strives to have its data satisfy a number of criteria,
including: relevance to current social and economic issues, timeliness
in reflecting today's rapidly changing economic conditions, accuracy and
consistently high statistical quality, and impartiality in both subject
matter and presentation.
The basic data are issued in monthly, quarterly, and annual news
releases; bulletins, reports, and special publications; and periodicals.
Data are also made available through an electronic news service,
magnetic tape, diskettes, and microfiche, as well as on Internet.
Regional offices issue additional reports and releases usually
presenting locality or regional detail.

Veterans' Employment and Training Service
The Veterans' Employment and Training Service is responsible for
administering veterans' employment and training programs and activities
to ensure that legislative and regulatory mandates are accomplished. The
field staff works closely with and provides technical assistance to
State employment security agencies and Job Training Partnership Act
grant recipients to ensure that veterans are provided the priority
services required by law. They also coordinate with employers, labor
unions, veterans service organizations, and community organizations
through planned public information and outreach activities. Federal
contractors are provided management assistance in complying with their
veterans affirmative action and reporting obligations. Staff also
administer the veterans reemployment rights program. They provide
assistance to help restore job, seniority, and pension rights to
veterans following absences from work for active military service and to
protect employment and retention rights of members of the Reserve or
National Guard.
