DOL MISSION
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.
DOL ORGANIZATION
DOL administers its statutes and programs through major component
agencies, each headed by an Assistant Secretary or Commissioner. DOL
carries out the agencies’ missions through the National Office and a
network of regional, field, district, and area offices, and in some cases,
operating at local and national levels.
DOL HUMAN RESOURCES
DOL is committed to recruiting, developing, and retaining a
high-quality, diverse workforce that effectively meets changing mission
requirements and program priorities. Human resources offices provide services
to eight major program agencies located in the National Office and six regional
offices. The Human Resources Center (HRC) in the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM) manages DOL-wide policy,
guidance and accountability.
Our human resources mission is:
To provide leadership, guidance,
and technical expertise in all areas related to management of DOL’s human
resources, including recruitment, development, and retention of staff, and
leadership in labor-management cooperation.
Our human resources vision is:
Consistently excellent human
resource service programs that recruit, develop and retain a diverse workforce
that is highly competent and focused on results and service to America’s
workers.
