Heddell Solicitor of Labor Jonathan L. Snare, Acting ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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' retirement and health care benefits; 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, individuals with disabilities, 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 by act of June 24, 1884, in the Interior Department. The Bureau of Labor later became independent as a Department of Labor without executive rank by act of June 13, 1888. 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; 29 U.S.C. 1 note). 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' Compensation Board. Phone, 202-693-6360. Internet, www.dol.gov. Office of Small Business Programs The Office of Small Business Programs ensures procurement opportunities for small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, women-owned businesses, HUBZone businesses, and businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. It serves as the Department's ombudsman under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) and is the Department's central referral point for inquiries and complaints arising under SBREFA. It is also active in the Department of Labor's compliance assistance activities. The Office manages the Department's programs for minority colleges and universities and Asian American and Pacific Islanders. Additionally, the Office conducts national outreach activities to raise awareness of the growing opportunities and services available to small businesses and minority colleges and universities. For further information, call 202-693-6460. Office of Job Corps Job Corps's mission is to attract young adults, teach them relevant skills they need to become employable and independent, and help them secure meaningful jobs or [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] T211657.023 [[Page 282]] opportunities for further education.

Office of Disability Employment Policy The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) provides national disability employment policy leadership by developing and influencing the [[Page 290]] implementation of disability employment policies and practices affecting the employment of people with disabilities. ODEP's response to low employment rates among such a large group of Americans is unique, comprehensive, and aggressive, and includes the active involvement and cooperation of Federal, State, and local public and private entities, including employers. ODEP also leads efforts to achieve the employment- related goals of the President's New Freedom Initiative. ODEP addresses the significant barriers to employment faced by individuals with disabilities by developing and disseminating national, State, and local disability employment policy; by fostering implementation of innovative strategies and practices among employers and throughout the various systems serving people with disabilities; by conducting disability-related research to build knowledge to inform policy development; and by providing technical assistance to service delivery systems and employers to increase employment opportunities and the recruitment, retention, and promotion of people with disabilities.

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.
