About U.S. Department of Labor

dol.gov

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is the federal cabinet‑level agency charged with promoting the welfare of wage earners, job seekers, and retirees by improving working conditions, advancing opportunities for profitable employment, and protecting work‑related benefits and rights. DOL develops and enforces labor standards and occupational safety laws through component agencies such as OSHA, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Employment and Training Administration, and the Employee Benefits Security Administration, and it oversees unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and pension protections. It also provides employers, workers, and policymakers with labor market data, compliance assistance, grants and training programs, and guidance on wages, hours, workplace safety, and benefits. Together these efforts aim to ensure safe workplaces, fair pay, and secure benefits across the U.S. workforce.
