JD Journal

Reacting to a report showing widespread violations of labor and wage laws in low paying urban jobs, the US Department of Labor is hiring 250 investigators as part of an effort to ramp up enforcement. According to Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, “There is no excuse for the disregard of federal labor standards — especially those designed to protect the neediest among us.”

According to job listings on the DoL website, applicants for the positions must have knowledge of and ability to apply the provisions of Federal wage and hour labor laws pertaining to wages, hours of work, or related conditions of employment. A JD satisfies the education requirement.
