This section describes the job of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It must gather and share useful information about labor. It focuses on labor's connection to capital, hours, earnings, and workers' well-being.

This section is a single, undivided provision describing the Bureau's purpose. The Bureau of Labor Statistics must acquire and share information with the people of the United States. That information must be useful and must relate to labor, understood in its broadest, most general sense. The section highlights several topics the Bureau should focus on within that broad subject: labor's relationship to capital, the hours people work, the earnings of working men and women, and the means of improving their material, social, intellectual, and moral well-being.
