National Worker Survey: DOL Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), through its Chief Evaluation Office (CEO), has submitted an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). The request pertains to a National Worker Survey designed to gather data directly from the American workforce. The survey aims to collect standardized information from workers across the United States to support policy research, program evaluation, and labor market analysis conducted by the DOL. Data gathered may inform decisions related to workforce development, worker protections, and employment policy. As part of the PRA process, the public is invited to submit comments on the proposed information collection. Comments typically address the necessity of the data collection, its practical utility, estimated burden on respondents, and ways to minimize that burden. This is an administrative/procedural notice and does not impose new regulatory requirements on employers or workers at this stage. It represents a standard federal data collection approval step prior to survey deployment.
