The Department of Labor (DOL) oversees workers' rights, workplace safety, and pension protection. OSHA sets workplace-safety standards, the Wage and Hour Division handles minimum wage and overtime, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration covers mines.
It also oversees employment statistics — some of this site's economic indicators come from its Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It issues many rules on workplace safety, wages, and benefits, affecting both employers and workers.
