Uncle Sam's Labor Aid Through Bureau Efforts
The United States government has actively aided labor through the Bureau of Labor, a main branch of the Department of Commerce and Labor. It gathers and disseminates labor data, publishes new laws, tracks court decisions, conducts wide ranging investigations, and runs the world's largest employment bureau under Terence Powderly to guide workers to job opportunities and regional needs.

Dr Charles P Neill and chief clerk G W W Hanger lead the bureau with long experience guiding the effort.
