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, 202-693-6719. Internet, www.dol.gov.

Administrative Review Board The Board consists of a maximum of five
members appointed by the Secretary. It adjudicates appeals cases under a
wide range of Federal labor laws arising under the McNamara O'Hara
Service Contract Act and the Davis Bacon Act. Board decisions may be
appealed to Federal district or appellate courts.

For further information, call 202-693-6200.

Benefits Review Board The Board consists of five members appointed by
the Secretary. It adjudicates appeals cases under the Longshore and
Harbor Workers' Compensation Act and the Black Lung Benefits Act. Board
decisions may be appealed to the U.S. Courts of Appeals and to the U.S.
Supreme Court.

For further information, call 202-693-6300.

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 opportunities for
further education. The Office has six regional offices responsible for
monitoring and oversight of Job Corps centers, outreach and admissions,
and career transition services.

Occupational Safety and Health

[[Page 288]]

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.

Office of Disability Employment Policy

The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) provides national
disability employment policy leadership by developing and influencing
the 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.

[[Page 290]]

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.
