Just the facts, ma'am -- that's what the US Bureau of Labor Statistics aims to deliver. The Agency (also known as BLS) collects, processes, analyzes, and shares labor economics information with Congress, other government entities, the public, and the business sector. It reports statistics regarding inflation, unemployment, labor productivity, workplace safety, and much more. BLS searches for data that reflects current economic conditions, is impartial, and is relevant to current social and economic issues. It also is responsible for several publications including the Occupational Outlook Handbook and Career Guide to Industries. BLS was established 1884 and is a part of the Department of Labor.
