The mission of the Department of Labor (English only) is to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners, job seekers, and retirees of the United States; improve working conditions; advance opportunities for profitable employment; and assure work-related benefits and rights. Some handouts from this English site are available in Spanish at Español | U.S. Department of Labor (dol.gov) .

Improving the health of farmworkers and their families is what the National Center for Farmworker Health aims to provide. This not-for-profit corporation is Texas-based and helps to provide information and services to families as well as to the community and migrant health centers nationwide that support farmworker health.
