The United States Department of Labor (DOL) was created through the Organic Act of the Department of Labor in 1913. Headed by the United States Secretary of Labor, it is the agency responsible for the fostering and promotion of the nation's past, present, and future work force by striving for the improvement of working conditions (including safety) and protecting the benefits to which they are entitled. Additionally, the Department tracks employment trends, prices, and other national economic measurements. To carry out this mission, the DOL administers a variety of federal labor laws including those that guarantee workers' rights, wages, freedom from employment discrimination, unemployment benefits, and other income support.
