Several different government agencies enforce labor laws, so it might be helpful if you posted a more specific question mentioning the type of law, and the state. Generally, the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division enforces the federal minimum wage and overtime laws, as well as a number of other laws such as the federal FMLA. The EEOC enforces laws against illegal discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national ancestry,disability status, pregnancy and age (over 40.) OSHA enforces worker safety laws in most states. However, 21 states have their own worker safety organizations. State laws are enforced by the state, often by the state Department of Labor.
The executive branch(i.e. president) enforces laws.

Every state has it's own Department of Labor, which supervises companies and enforces the laws of employment in it's state. The US Department of Labor is the Federal Government and oversees the Federal laws regarding labor. Labor laws do differ from state in many issues, such as Child Labor laws (work permits, minimum age to enter the work force). This is the same type of separation of Federal and State power as the State Congress and Federal Congress.
