The Department of Labor fosters and promotes the welfare of the job
seekers, wage earners, and retirees of the United States, by improving
their working conditions, advancing their opportunities for profitable
employment, protecting their retirement and health care benefits,
helping employers find workers, strengthening free collective
bargaining, and tracking changes in employment, prices, and other
national economic measurements. In carrying out this mission, the
Department administers a variety of Federal labor laws including those
that guarantee workers' rights to safe and healthful working conditions;
a minimum hourly wage and overtime pay; freedom from employment
discrimination; unemployment insurance; and other income support.

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, call the Administrative Officer. Phone, 202-
693-6234. 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 202-693-6234.

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 202-693-6234.

Office of Small Business Programs The Office of Small Business Programs
ensures procurement opportunities for small businesses, 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.

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

established a fourfold focus:
--firm enforcement of workplace safety and health rules;
--swift promulgation of strong, protective health and safety
standards;
--increased outreach and help for workers and their employers in
their efforts to eliminate and control workplace hazards; and
--partnership with the States that are running their own OSHA-
approved programs.

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.

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

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;

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.
