The United States (U.S.) Country Labor Profile Report, released by the Office of International Relations of the Bureau of International Labor Affairs provides an informative overview of U.S. labor laws, institutions, practices, and other related issues. The profile is disseminated by U.S. Embassy labor officers worldwide to institutions and individuals in their host countries. It is based on research from published sources and distributed to U.S. Government officials who find it necessary to discuss U.S. labor issues while representing the United States overseas. The profile is provided to hundreds of international visitors who are briefed each year by U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) experts on labor laws, labor statistics, employment and training for civilians, veterans and the disabled, occupational safety and health, mine safety, employment standards and wages, pension plans, child labor, working women’s issues, U.S. best practices and related matters.
