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), the ninth executive department, 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).

Office of the Secretary of Labor

Secretary  The Secretary is the head of the Department of Labor and 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. 
The Office of the Secretary includes the Offices of Deputy Secretary, 
Inspector General, the Assistant Secretaries, and the Solicitor of 
Labor. Other offices whose public purposes are widely applied are 
detailed below and on the following pages.

Office of the Deputy Secretary of Labor

Deputy Secretary  The Deputy Secretary of Labor is the principal adviser 
to the Secretary and serves as Acting Secretary in the Secretary's 
absence.

Employees' Compensation Appeals Board  The Employees' Compensation 
Appeals Board consists of three members and three alternate members 
appointed by the Secretary of Labor, one of whom is designated as 
Chairman. The function of the Board is to consider and decide appeals 
from final decisions in cases arising under the Federal Employees' 
Compensation Act (5 U.S.C. 8101). The

final agency decisions on cases arising in review or appeal of decisions 
or recommended decisions of the Administrator for the Wage and Hour 
Division, the Employment Standards Administration, or the Office of

The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) carries out the 
Department's international responsibilities under the direction of the 
Deputy Under Secretary for International Affairs; assists in formulating 
international economic, social, trade, and immigration policies 
affecting American workers, with a view to maximizing higher wage and 
higher value U.S. jobs derived from global economic integration; gathers 
and disseminates information on child labor practices worldwide; 
promotes respect for international labor standards to protect the 
economic and physical well-being of workers in the United States and 
around the world; gathers and disseminates information on foreign labor

Labor Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and 
Development, and other United Nations organizations. In addition, it 
provides counsel and support for the President's Committee on the 
International Labor Organization, a Federal advisory committee 
established to promote continued reform and progress in that 
organization.

Employment and Training Administration

The Employment and Training Administration, through a variety of 
programs, fulfills responsibilities assigned to the Secretary of Labor 
that relate to employment services, job training, and unemployment 
insurance. Component offices and services of the Administration 
administer a Federal-State employment security system; fund and oversee 
programs to provide work experience and training for groups having 
difficulty entering or returning to the work force; formulate and 
promote apprenticeship standards and programs; and conduct continuing 
programs of research, development, and evaluation.
    The Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training directs the 
administration of agency programs and is responsible for ensuring that 
programs funded through the agency are free from unlawful 
discrimination, fraud, and abuse, and that they comply with 
constitutional, statutory, and regulatory provisions. It is the policy 
of the Administration to promote equal opportunity, affirmative action, 
and integrity in programs to which the Administration extends financial 
assistance.
    The Administration has five major components that cover employment 
security, job training, planning and

[[Page 374]]

policy development, financial and administrative management, and 
regional management.

Federal Unemployment Insurance Service  The Federal-State Unemployment 
Compensation Program, under provisions of the Social Security Act of 
1935 (42 U.S.C. 1305), is the basic program of income support for the 
Nation's unemployed workers. With limited Federal intervention, 
unemployment insurance benefits are payable under laws of individual 
States. The Federal Unemployment Insurance Service provides leadership 
and policy guidance to State employment security agencies for the 
development, improvement, and operation of the Federal-State 
unemployment insurance system and of related wage-loss, worker 
dislocation, and adjustment assistance compensation programs, including 
to ex-service personnel and Federal civilian workers, and supplemental 
or extended benefits programs.
    The Service reviews State unemployment insurance laws and their 
administration by the States to determine whether they are in conformity 
with Federal requirements; supervises the development of programs and 
methods for benefit, adjudication, appeals, tax collection, and trust 
fund management activities implemented by the State agencies; oversees 
the actuarial soundness of the level and relationship of State 
expenditures, revenues, and reserves, and of Federal appropriations for 
payment of benefits; and is implementing a comprehensive system to help 
ensure continuous improvement in the performance of unemployment 
insurance operations.
    The Service also provides national leadership and direction in 
implementing its responsibilities under trade adjustment assistance, 
airline deregulation, and disaster unemployment assistance legislation.

For further information, call 202-219-7831.

United States Employment Service  The Service, under the provisions of 
the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49 et seq.), provides assistance to 
States in establishing and maintaining a system of local public 
employment offices in the States and territories and interstate 
clearance of Labor. The State public employment service is responsible 
for providing unemployed individuals and other jobseekers with job 
placement, and other employment services and for providing employers 
with recruitment services and referrals of job-seeking applicants.
    The Service, through the State public employment service system, 
also provides subsidiary services which include:
    --certifying aliens who seek to enter the United States for 
permanent employment as immigrants or as temporary workers;
    --providing specialized recruitment assistance to employers;
    --determining classifications of labor surplus area annually and for 
exceptional circumstance petitions;
    --providing labor surplus area information to the general public and 
to other Federal or State agencies to meet various program 
responsibilities;
    --disseminating labor market information;
    --providing individuals with guidance, counseling, testing referral, 
and job opportunities;
    --reviewing rural industrialization loan and grant certification 
applications under the Rural Development Act of 1972 (7 U.S.C. 1921);
    --distributing airline job opening information for rehiring under 
the Airline Deregulation Act (49 U.S.C. app. 1301);
    --providing supportive services to employers and applicants through 
the Federal bonding program; and
    --providing reemployment services to dislocated workers.

For further information, call 202-219-0157.

Office of Work-Based Learning  The Office administers activities under 
several Federal laws regarding worker training and retraining. These 
include the dislocated worker program under the Economic Dislocation and 
Worker Adjustment Assistance Act (EDWAA) (Title III of the Job Training 
Partnership Act (JTPA); Federal activities under the Worker Adjustment 
and Retraining

[[Page 375]]

Notification Act (WARN); and the Trade Adjustment Assistance Program 
under the Trade Act. In addition, the Office carries out research and 
demonstration programs.

For further information, call 202-219-0540.

Office of Worker Retraining and Adjustment Programs  The Office performs 
dislocated worker programs functions under the Economic Dislocation and 
Worker Adjustment Assistance Act (Title III of JTPA), and Federal 
activities under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

For further information, call 202-219-0525.

Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance  The Office administers the Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, 
as amended (19 U.S.C. 2101 et seq.), through agreements with the States. 
The program provides reemployment services such as training, job search 
and relocation allowances, and weekly cash payments to U.S. workers who 
are separated from employment because of foreign imports.
    The Office receives petitions for adjustment assistance from either 
adversely affected workers, a duly recognized union, or an authorized 
representative of the workers and conducts factfinding investigations to 
develop necessary data on which certification determinations can be 
based. Determinations may involve approval, denial, or termination of 
worker groups' eligibility for trade adjustment assistance benefits.
    The Office administers the North American Free Trade Agreement--
Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA) program to help workers 
who become dislocated as a result of increased trade with Mexico or 
Canada after January 1, 1994, when NAFTA went into effect. The program 
emphasizes a comprehensive, timely array of retraining and reemployment 
services, including both rapid response and basic readjustment services. 
Similar to TAA, the NAFTA-TAA program provides training, job search and 
relocation allowances, and income support while in training.
    The Office develops policies and prepares program directives to 
regional offices and State agencies on the administration and funding of 
reemployment services, and develops and maintains a system for 
allocating funds to those offices and agencies for reemployment 
services. It also directs and conducts industry studies of the number of 
workers in a domestic industry likely to be certified as eligible for 
adjustment assistance and of the extent to which existing training and 
employment programs may facilitate the workers' adjustment to import 
competition when an industry petitions the Federal Government that it is 
being injured because of import competition.

For further information, call 202-219-0555.

Office of One-Stop/Labor Market Information (LMI)  The Department's 
multi-year investments in the One-Stop Career Centers System, including 
America's Labor Market Information System, are designed to transform a 
fragmented array of employment and training programs into an integrated 
service delivery system. One-Stop Career Centers offer a number of 
service or business lines to adult customers of the employment and 
training system, including labor exchange services, income maintenance, 
job search assistance, individual intensive services, training, and 
labor market information.
    Fifty-four States and jurisdictions have received one-stop planning 
or implementation grants. With these funds, the States and their local 
partners make strategic investments in infrastructure (including 
technology, movement to client-server systems, addition of Internet 
connections, cross-training of staff, creation of public access resource 
rooms and other media-assisted self-service mechanisms) while 
integrating employment and training programs into an effective and 
flexible system for the provision of customer services.
    One-stop also supports the development of products, services, and 
hardware, software, and communications infrastructure associated with an

[[Page 376]]

improved labor market information program. Resources are devoted to the 
development and delivery of a set of core products and services in each 
State; ongoing research and development to improve the quality of labor 
market information available to job seekers and employers, including 
consumer reports; and maintenance and expansion of a nationwide 
electronic exchange system which includes job openings and resumes.

For further information, call 202-219-8854.

Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training  The National Apprenticeship Act 
(29 U.S.C. 50) was passed in 1937 to enable the Department of Labor to 
formulate and promote the furtherance of labor standards necessary to 
safeguard the welfare of apprentices and cooperate with the States in 
the promotion of such standards, and to bring together employers and 
labor for the formulation of programs of apprenticeship.
    Sponsors and potential sponsors are encouraged and assisted in the 
development, expansion, and improvement of apprenticeship and other 
forms of allied industrial training. Technical information on training 
methods, public training facilities, and successfully executed systems 
are made available to industry. Through field representatives in States, 
the Bureau works closely with employers, labor unions, vocational 
schools, community planning groups, and others concerned with 
apprenticeship.
    Programs must meet standards established by the Bureau or a 
recognized State Apprenticeship Council to be registered. Field 
compliance reviews are conducted to determine conformity with Federal 
equal employment opportunity and other standards for apprenticeship and 
training.

For further information, call 202-219-0540.

Job Training Partnership Act

The Office of Job Training Programs is responsible for the development 
and issuance of Federal procedures and policies pertaining to the 
operation of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs.
    Under the act, the Secretary of Labor makes block grants to the 
States, insular areas, and the District of Columbia to establish 
programs to prepare youth and adults facing serious barriers to 
employment for participation in the labor force. Program services 
include assessment of unemployed individuals' needs and abilities; 
classroom training; on-the-job training; job search assistance; work 
experience; counseling; basic skills training; and support services. In 
addition to the block grants, JTPA provides for national programs for 
special target groups such as Native Americans and migrant and seasonal 
farmworkers. It also provides authority for the Job Corps, a residential 
training program for disadvantaged youth.

For further information, call 202-219-6236.

Office of Job Corps Programs  Job Corps is a national residential 
training and employment program administered by the Department to 
address the multiple barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth 
throughout the United States. Job Corps is currently authorized under 
title IV-B of the Job Training Partnership Act.
    Job Corps assists young people 16 to 24 years of age who need and 
can benefit from an unusually intensive program, operated primarily in 
the residential setting of a Job Corps center, to become more 
responsible, employable, and productive citizens. The program is highly 
targeted to the most severely disadvantaged youth and provides a 
comprehensive mix of services which address multiple barriers to 
employment in an integrated and coordinated manner in one facility. The 
array of services includes diagnostic testing of reading and math 
levels; occupational exploration programs; world of work training; basic 
education programs; competency-based vocational education programs; 
counseling and related support services; work experience programs; 
social skills training; intergroup relations; recreational programs; 
meals, lodging,

[[Page 377]]

and clothing; health care; and child care.
    The program operates through a successful partnership of government, 
labor, and the private sector, with the Federal Government providing the 
facilities and equipment for Job Corps centers. Because the residential 
nature of the program dictates unique space and facility requirements, 
Job Corps center sites are fixed.

For further information, call 202-219-8550.

Senior Community Service Employment Program  Authorized by title V of 
the Older Americans Act (42 U.S.C. 3056), the program makes subsidized, 
part-time job opportunities in community service activities available to 
low-income persons aged 55 and above. Project grants are made to 
national-level public and private nonprofit agencies and to units of

Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration

The Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration (PWBA) helps to protect 
the economic future and retirement security of working Americans, as 
required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 
(ERISA) (29 U.S.C. 1001).
    The act requires administrators of private pension and welfare plans 
to provide plan participants with easily understandable summaries of 
plans; to file those summaries with the agency; and to report annually 
on the financial operation of the plans and bonding of persons charged 
with handling plan funds and assets. Plan administrators must also meet 
strict fiduciary responsibility standards that are enforced by PWBA.
    The Administration is charged with assuring responsible management 
of about 700,000 pension plans and 6 million health and welfare plans, 
and is the national guardian of a vast private retirement and welfare 
benefit system. Its major activities include: formulating long- and 
short-range policy; conducting research; issuing regulations and 
technical guidance under ERISA; enforcing ERISA to protect plans and 
their assets from misuse; and assisting and educating the public and the 
employee benefits community about ERISA. The act is enforced through 15 
PWBA field offices nationwide and the national office in Washington, DC.
    Vesting, participation, and funding standards are primarily 
administered by the Internal Revenue Service.

Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) ensures that 
companies that do business with the Government promote affirmative 
action and equal employment opportunity on behalf of minorities, women, 
the disabled, and Vietnam Veterans. Through its 10 regional offices, as 
well as district and area offices in major metropolitan centers, OFCCP 
enforces the following laws and orders:
    --Executive Order 11246, as amended, which prohibits discrimination 
in hiring or employment opportunities on the basis of race, color, 
gender, religion, and national origin. It applies to all contractors and 
subcontractors holding any Federal or federally assisted contracts worth 
more than $10,000 annually. In addition, it requires contractors and 
subcontractors with a Federal contract of $50,000 or more, and 50 or 
more employees, to develop a written affirmative action program that 
sets forth specific and result-oriented procedures to which the 
contractor is committed to apply every good faith effort.
    --Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, which 
prohibits discrimination and requires affirmative action in all 
personnel practices for persons with disabilities. It applies to firms 
with Federal contracts of $10,000 or more annually;
    --the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (38 
USC 4212), which prohibits discrimination and requires affirmative 
action in all personnel practices for special disabled veterans and 
Vietnam Era veterans. It applies to firms with Federal contracts of 
$10,000 or more annually;
    --the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which requires 
employers to maintain certain records pertaining to the citizenship 
status of new employees. These records are examined during the course of 
compliance reviews and complaint investigations, and results are 
reported to the Immigration and Naturalization Service; and
    --the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which became 
effective in July 1992 and provides disabled employees protection 
against discrimination.
    In carrying out its responsibilities, the Office conducts compliance 
reviews and complaint investigations of Federal contractors' personnel 
policies and procedures; obtains letters of commitment and conciliation 
agreements from contractors who are in violation of regulatory 
requirements; monitors contractors' progress in fulfilling the terms of 
their agreements through periodic compliance reports; forms linkage 
agreements between contractors and Department job training programs to 
help employers identify and recruit qualified workers; offers technical 
assistance to contractors to help them understand the regulatory 
requirements and review process; and recommends enforcement actions to 
the Solicitor of Labor.
    The ultimate sanction for violations is debarment--the loss of a 
company's Federal contracts. Other forms of relief to victims of 
discrimination may also be available, including back pay for lost wages.

Office of Labor-Management Standards

This office administers provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and 
Disclosure Act of 1959 (29 U.S.C. 401) and section 1209 of the Postal 
Reorganization Act (39 U.S.C. 1209), which establish standards of 
conduct for labor organizations in the private sector and labor 
organizations composed of Postal Service employees; as well as section 
701 of the Civil Service Reform Act (5 U.S.C. 7120) and section 1017 of 
the Foreign Service Act (22 U.S.C. 4117), which affect labor 
organizations composed of employees of most agencies of the executive 
branch of the Federal Government. These provisions regulate certain 
internal union procedures, protect the rights of members in 
approximately 36,000 unions; govern the handling of union funds; provide 
for reporting and public disclosure of certain financial transactions 
and administrative practices of unions, union officers and employees, 
surety companies, employers, and labor relations consultants; establish 
requirements for the election of union

[[Page 381]]

officers; and establish requirements for the imposition and 
administration of trusteeships.
    This office conducts criminal and civil investigations to safeguard 
the financial integrity of unions and to ensure union democracy; and 
conducts investigative audits of labor unions to uncover and remedy 
criminal and civil violations of the Labor-Management Reporting and 
Disclosure Act and related statutes. However, the standards of conduct 
are enforced only by administrative action with a final decision by the 
Assistant Secretary.
    The Office also administers a public disclosure program for 
financial and other reports filed by unions and others and provides 
compliance assistance to help unions and others comply with the 
statutes. In administering responsibilities of the Department under 
Federal transit law, the office ensures that fair and equitable 
arrangements protecting mass transit employees are in place before the 
referral of Federal transit grant funds.

Office of Workers' Compensation Programs

The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs is responsible for the 
administration of the three basic Federal workers' compensation laws: 
the Federal Employees Compensation Act, which provides workers' 
compensation for Federal employees and others; the Longshore and Harbor 
Workers' Compensation Act and its various extensions (the Defense Base 
Act, Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, Nonappropriated Fund 
Instrumentalities Act, the District of Columbia Compensation Act, the 
War Hazards Compensation Act, and the War Claims Act), which provide 
benefits to employees in private enterprise while engaged in maritime 
employment on navigable waters in the United States, as well as 
employees of certain government contractors and to private employers in 
the District of Columbia for injuries that occurred prior to July 27, 
1982; and the Black Lung Benefits Act, as amended, which extends 
benefits to coal miners who are totally disabled due to pneumoconiosis, 
a respiratory disease contracted after prolonged inhalation of coal mine 
dust, and to their survivors when the miner's death is due to 
pneumoconiosis.

Mine Safety and Health Administration

The Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health has 
responsibility for safety and health in the Nation's mines.
    The Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 (30 U.S.C. 801 
et seq.) gave the Administration strong enforcement provisions to 
protect the Nation's coal miners and, in 1977, the Congress passed 
amendments which strengthened the act, expanding its protections and 
extending its provisions to the noncoal mining industry.
    The Administration develops and promulgates mandatory safety and 
health standards, ensures compliance with such standards, assesses civil 
penalties for violations, and investigates accidents. It cooperates with 
and provides assistance to the States in the development of effective 
State mine safety and health programs; improves and expands training 
programs in cooperation with the States and the mining industry; and, in 
coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services, 
contributes to the improvement and expansion of mine safety and health 
research and development. All of these activities are aimed at 
preventing and reducing mine accidents and occupational diseases in the 
mining industry.
    The statutory responsibilities of the Administration are 
administered by a headquarters staff located at Arlington, VA, reporting 
to the Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health and by a field 
network of district, subdistrict, and field offices, technology centers, 
and the Approval and Certification Center.

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

[[Page 384]]

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 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--practically all supplied voluntarily by business 
establishments and members of private households--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 the component of the 
Department of Labor administered by the Assistant Secretary for 
Veterans' Employment and Training. The Assistant Secretary is the 
principal adviser to the Secretary of Labor in the formulation and 
implementation of all departmental policies, procedures, and regulations 
affecting veterans and is responsible for administering veterans' 
employment and training programs and activities through the Service to 
ensure that legislative and regulatory mandates are accomplished.
    The Service carries out its responsibilities for directing the 
Department's veterans' employment and training programs through a 
nationwide network that includes Regional Administrators, Directors (in 
each State) and Assistant Directors (one for each 250,000 veterans in 
each State) for Veterans' Employment and Training, Assistant Regional 
Administrators, Veterans' Program Specialists, and program support 
staff.
    The Service 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.
    Also administered by the Assistant Secretary through the Service is 
the Job Training Partnership Act, title IV, part C grant program 
designed to meet the employment and training needs of service-connected 
disabled veterans, Vietnam-era veterans, and veterans recently separated 
from military service. IV-C grants are awarded and monitored through the 
Service's national office and field staff.
    Certain other Service 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.
