In short, the mission of the U.S. Department of labor is to promote the welfare of job seekers, wage earners, and retirees by administering Federal labor laws with regard to things like workers' rights, minimum wage laws, and unemployment insurance. (To see the mission statement in its entirety search http://www.dol.gov/opa/aboutdol/mission.htm). The Department of Labor works to make employment as fair and Constitutional as possible by administering and enforcing over 180 federal laws covering nearly 10 million employers and 125 million workers (www.dol.gov).
Three important functions of the Department of Labor are...
1) Improving working conditions in a way that is beneficial to the employee or "wage earner".
2) Advancing opportunities for profitable employment among citizens.
3) Protecting retirement and health care benefits for workers and retirees.
