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 brief presents high-level findings from the Using Administrative Data to Address Federal Contractor Violations of Equal Employment Opportunity Laws Final Report.
Under a contract funded through the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Chief Evaluation Office (CEO), Eastern Research Group (ERG) and its subcontractor the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago (NORC), conducted a study to examine the level of accuracy and completeness of injury/illness reporting in the mining industry and identify feasible improvement approaches that Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA) could implement. MSHA considers accurate data on injuries and illnesses critical to the Agency’s core mission of worker protection.

The report describes a study where researchers examine the impact of job displacement on wealth holdings of older workers. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, they measure the impact of job loss on the total wealth and its subcomponents. They find that a typical worker experiences a persistent reduction in his/her wealth balances at a rate of 8 percent six or more years post job loss. Wealth shocks of this magnitude during the years leading up to retirement may jeopardize wealth adequacy during retirement.
