The Department of Labor's Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) is the principal fact-finding agency for the federal
government in the broad field of labor, economics, and statistics. It provides
data on employment, wages, inflation, productivity, and many other topics.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety
and Health Administration (MSHA) regularly provide statistics on safety and
health issues. From time to time, other agencies at the Department of Labor
provide statistical data on topics related to their agency's mission.
The most comprehensive resource on the Web for statistical
information from the federal government is
FedStats.gov.
It provides access to official statistics collected and published by more than
70 federal agencies, including the Department of Labor.
