Search Tips
- Keyword Search – Use the keyword search field to type your own search terms.
- Resource Type – Use the resource type dropdown to find the type of resource that you want (e.g. article, video, report, file, link, study, etc.).
- Resource Topic – Use the resource topic dropdown to find major themes of the resource that you want (e.g. Women Veterans, Homelessness, Wages). You can select multiple topics from the dropdown.
- Resource Tags – Use the resource tag dropdown to search the resource for keyword or term associated with the resource.
- If you are searching using an acronym, try a second search with the acronym spelled out. For example, if you are searching for resources related to the Davis-Bacon Act, try searching "Davis-Bacon Act" as well as "DBA".
- For more specific results, use quotation marks around phrases.
- For more general results, remove quotation marks to search for each word individually. For example, minimum wage will return all documents that have either the word minimum or the word wage in the description, while “minimum wage” will limit results to those containing that phrase.

The Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) works with other Department of Labor (DOL) agencies to conduct Administrative Data Research and Analysis (ADRA) studies. The various studies aim to examine administrative data sets from agencies within DOL and other federal agencies to provide timely responses to changing strategic agency priorities. Completed studies are listed below. New and ongoing studies will occur regularly.
