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.

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 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.

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.

Veterans' Employment and Training Service

The Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) 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 Workforce Investment 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. VETS provides 
training to separating servicemembers through its transition assistance 
program, Job Search. Federal contractors are provided management 
assistance in complying with their veterans affirmative action and 
reporting obligations. Staff also administer the veterans reemployment 
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.
