About the Study

In 2022, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) commissioned Insight Policy Research, which has since been subsumed by Westat, to explore the development of an automated approach for identifying the websites of organizations that DOL may wish to reach for activities such as data collection, outreach, compliance, or enforcement under the Administrative Data Research and Analysis portfolio of studies. This approach can be used when the characteristics of interest (such as the type of organization or the types of occupations the organization employs) are not available in other datasets that could help with identification.

This Department of Labor-funded study contributes to the labor evidence-base to inform data, methods, and tools as well as addresses Departmental strategic goals and priorities.

Project Duration: 24 Months
End Date: September 2024
