- Summary:
- The Bureau of Labor Statistics' early work included studies of depressions, tariffs, immigrants, and alcoholism and many assignments to investigate and mediate disputes between labor and management. The Bureau of Labor in the Department of the Interior was created on June 26, 1884 as the culmination of almost two decades of advocacy by labor organizations that wanted government help in publicizing and improving the status of the growing industrial labor force.
