The US Department of Labor (DOL), is the government agency in charge of promoting the welfare of American citizens by improving their working conditions and increasing their opportunities to get profitable jobs. They try to achieve this by serving as an auditor for companies, monitoring, and guaranteeing that they are guaranteeing all of the benefits that correspond to employees according to law. Another of their tasks is to periodically publish statistics regarding the workforce. These reports include information related to unemployment and employee turnover rates.
