Everything the Department of Labor Actually Does

The Department of Labor (DOL) is a critical federal agency that protects workers’ rights, ensures workplace safety, and promotes employment opportunities across the United States. Around since 1913, the DOL is the latest government entity currently facing scrutiny from the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
On Friday, a federal judge declined to limit DOGE—which is not an official government department, but a task force led by Elon Musk—from accessing the DOL’s systems and sensitive information. Not everyone is happy about that, because they are worried Musk might gut the agency in similar fashion to what is being done with USAID.
But what does the DOL do? It’s worth knowing, because the labor department impacts everyone who has an employer of some kind.
No, that’s what its supposed to do. What it actually does is spend taxpayer money on things that are not the proper business of the Federal government. This includes propping up labor unions (a basic part of the Democrat coalition of the fringes) and promoting regime ideology like DIE.
