    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 282]]

    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.
    Small BusinessPrograms  The Office of Small Business Programs
    administers the Department's efforts to ensure procurement opportunities
    for small, small disadvantaged, women-owned small businesses, HUBZone
    businesses, and businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. It serves
    as the Department's central referral point for small-business regulatory
    compliance assistance information; manages the Department's minority
    colleges and universities programs and other special programs; and
    provides management oversight and guidance for the Department's advisory
    committees to ensure compliance with applicable statutes and related
    requirements.

    For further information, call 202-693-6460.

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

    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.
