    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).

        The Bureau represents the United States on delegations to
    multilateral and bilateral trade negotiations and on such international
    bodies as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the International
    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 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.

    [[Page 369]]

    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 202-219-5257.

    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 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 202-219-6236.

    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 202-219-5339.

    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

    [[Page 370]]

    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 202-219-5555.

    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
    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 202-219-6540.

    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 202-219-5921.

    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, 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

    Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration

    The Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration (PWBA) is responsible
    for the administration of title I of the Employee Retirement Income
    Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The primary mission of PWBA is
    to promote and protect the pension, health, and other benefits of the
    over 150 million participants and beneficiaries in over 6 million
    private sector employee benefit plans which hold more than $3.5 trillion
    in assets. Private sector employee benefit plans provide income and
    benefits on which the majority of Americans rely to maintain an
    acceptable quality of life. The economic security of an individual or
    family may be jeopardized if pension, health, or other benefits are not
    paid as promised.
        In administering its responsibilities, PWBA assists workers in
    understanding their rights and protecting their benefits; facilitates
    compliance by plan sponsors, plan officials, service providers, and
    other members of the regulated community; encourages the growth of
    employment-based benefits; and deters and corrects violations of the
    relevant statutes. ERISA 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

    [[Page 374]]

        --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 31,000 unions; govern the handling of union funds; provide

    and administrative practices of unions, union officers and employees,
    surety companies, employers, and labor relations consultants; establish

        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

    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

    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.) provided the Federal Government strong enforcement provisions
    to protect the Nation's coal miners; 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 and several other
    field facilities.

    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.

    [[Page 379]]

    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--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

    [[Page 380]]

    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.
