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 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.
Employees' Compensation Appeals Board The Board is a three-member
quasi-judicial body appointed by the Secretary which has been delegated
exclusive jurisdiction by Congress to hear and make final decisions on
workers' compensation appeals of Federal employees from determinations
of the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (Office) arising under
the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. The Employees' Compensation
Appeals Board (Board) was created by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1946
(60 Stat. 1095). The Board is independent of the Office, and its
jurisdiction is strictly appellate and extends to questions of fact and
law. The Board's decisions are not reviewable and are binding upon the
Office.
For further information, contact the Clerk of the Employees's
Compensation Board. Phone, 202-693-6360. Internet, www.dol.gov.
Small BusinessPrograms The Office of Small Business Programs
administers the Department's efforts to ensure procurement opportunities
for small, small-disadvantaged, and women-owned businesses; HUBZone
businesses; and businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. It serves
as the Department's central referral point for inquiries and complaints
arising under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
The Office also manages the Department's minority colleges and
universities programs and other special programs.
For further information, call 202-693-6460.
The Solicitor of Labor The Office of the Solicitor provides necessary
legal services to accomplish the Department's mission and goals. The
Solicitor directs a broad-scale litigation effort in the Federal courts
pertaining to various labor statutes administered by the Department,
ranging
[[Page 285]]

[[Page 286]]
from worker's compensation to employment discrimination.

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 the Internet at
stats.bls.gov. Regional offices issue additional reports and releases
usually presenting locality or regional detail.

rights program and investigate complaints from veterans concerning
denial of Federal veterans preference. 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.
