Roles Played By The US Bureau Of Labor Statistics

By Brian Wagner


According to reports produced by the ministry of labor, there has been a rapid growth united states in terms of social economic stability. For years now, the ministry has provided valuable information to the government, federal market, the public, businesses and the global agencies. This has contributed to rapid transition of the state. However, despite the ministry being an impartial entity, the US Bureau of labor Statistics have massively shaped up the economy of the state.

In June 1884, the commissions of labor Act that is 23 stat. 60 ordained the board in the interior department. The main purpose of the agency was to gather workforce and employment information. Four years later the ministry became independent in the commerce and workforce department as the labor bureau. Later in February 1913, the agency was then shifted to the labor department until today.

Normally the ministry comprises of four sections which include the workers relations and statistics, technical support services and project management, manpower and employment sector and the labor standards sector. These divisions work together in achieving their goals and mission as a ministry. However, these subsectors have different roles which they play.

The workforce relations, labor standards sector and the manpower and employment section usually provide the state government with information on work and employment. According to the data they collect they come up with strategies and plans which should be used to attain the required labor force and also reduce the unemployment rates. They also standardize and formulate strategies for gathering, estimating, presenting and studying the employment and other data. Another major role of these three sectors is to carry out surveys nationwide on the current trend in the employment and labor ministry and ways on improving the sector.

Apart from the state government, the commission is relied upon by business, public, workers representatives, US congress and also other federal agencies. There being so many activities that are carried out in the ministry of labor, the data must satisfy some conditions. One of the conditions that the board should satisfy in terms of their data is consistency, economic factors, accuracy and quality presentation in terms of the subject and social economic issues and how they mirror the modern rapid transitional economic conditions.

When population increases and the job vacancies are limited the unemployment and dependency levels increases. The impact of this condition is not healthy for any state. The labor commission analyses the birth rates and the current state of job market. The report produced can be relied by the state government to lay down strategies on how to lower unemployment. This helps reduce the insecurity levels in thus maintaining a stable nation.

To wrap everything up the major duties of this principal agency is to carry out research on the labor sector including the working and non-working workforce. The ministry also analyses the living standards of the citizens and the level of dependency. This data is used by the government in budgeting and launching projects. It also relies on the information released in enhancing the level of investments by using the laid strategies in order to increase productivity.

This helps the state government and also businesses to shape up and adapt to new strategies which will help them overcome these challenges. Without this information the state and the public at large would not be in a position to plan the future and also mitigate risks.
