US Department of Labor Women's Bureau

Created by Congress on June 5, 1920, to "promote the welfare of wage earning women," the US Department of Labor Women's Bureau (DOLWB) seeks to inform the public of women's work rights and employment issues. Bureau publications include Fact Sheets on Women in the Workplace, the legally informative Know Your Rights Series, survey results, and special reports on the history of the Equal Pay Act, child care, and financial success stories, among others (.pdf format). A Statistics and Data Library will be of particular use to educators, offering current and historical employment totals and earnings estimates in graphical, presentation formats. Male to Female wage and employment comparisons are also included on site, and some DOLWB studies delineate employment totals by occupation. Links to relevant DOL agencies and reports, as well as other women's labor organizations are also useful in researching the long history of women's labor struggles in the US.
