<p>The <a href='https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/general/budget/2023/FY2023BIB.pdf'><span class="caps">FY 2023</span> request for the Department of Labor</a> (DOL or Department) is $14.6 billion in
discretionary budget authority and 16,922 full-time equivalent employees (FTE), with additional
mandatory funding and <span class="caps">FTE</span>.</p>
<p>The Budget requests a $100 million investment for <span class="caps">DOL</span>’s role in the new multi-agency
<span class="caps">POWER</span>+ Initiative, which aims to assist displaced workers and transform communities
transitioning away from fossil fuel production to new, sustainable industries. Furthering
the Administration’s emphasis on addressing climate change by creating opportunities for
workers in America, the Budget requests $20 million to pilot the Civilian Climate Corps,
in partnership other Federal agencies, which will fund paid work experiences, preapprenticeship programs, and RA programs for youth in industries and jobs related to
climate resilience and mitigation.</p>
<p>The request also provides the
Employment and Training Administration (ETA) $10 million for a new program,
developed in collaboration with <span class="caps">VETS</span> and the Department of Veterans Affairs, focused
on helping veterans shift to careers in clean energy, which would help combat climate
change while preparing veterans for good-paying jobs.</p>
<p>The request
also includes an increase of nearly $44 million for the Mine
Safety and Health Administration focused on restoring its
capabilities in enforcement and mine plan and equipment reviews. This increased funding
will help ensure miners’ health and safety amid a projected increase in workload
stemming from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).</p><p><a href='https://appropriations.house.gov/events/hearings/fy-2023-budget-request-for-the-department-of-labor'>Hearing page</a></p>
