------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, the handicapped, and other groups.

The present 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.

Small BusinessPrograms 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.

The Solicitor of Labor The Office of the Solicitor provides necessary
legal services to accomplish the Department's mission and goals. The
Solicitor directs a broad-scale litigation effort in the Federal

courts pertaining to various labor statutes administered by the
Department, ranging from workers' compensation to employment
discrimination.

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

[[Page 290]]

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.
