Biographical / Historical
The United States Department of Labor (DOL) is a cabinet-level department of the U.S. federal government responsible for occupational safety, wage and hour standards, unemployment insurance benefits, re-employment services, and some economic statistics; many U.S. states also have such departments. The department is headed by the U.S. Secretary of Labor.
It is their mission to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers, and reitrees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights. In doing this the Department of Labor administers and enforces more than 180 feeral laws and thousands of federal regulations. These mandates and the regulations that implement them cover many workplace activities for about 10 million employers and 125 million workers.[Wikipedia]
