Abstract	This study gathered information on the Departments of Education and Labor field office structures as follows: the location, staffing, square footage, and operating cost for each department in total and its field offices. Findings were that in fiscal year 1995, the departments had a field structure composed of 1.146 field offices--such as regional offices, area offices, and district offices. They were located in 438 localities across the 50 states, District of Columbia, and 2 territories. Reflecting its centralized structure and nature of its responsibilities, the Department of Education used about one-third of its 5,131 authorized staff resources in its field offices. Labor, with its varied responsibilities requiring on-site presence, had more than 60 percent of its 17,632 authorized staff allocated to its 1,074 field offices. Both departments' largest field office costs were staff salaries and benefits. They have also eliminated and/or consolidated a few field offices within the last 5 years to improve service delivery or office operations. (Extensive appendixes to the report include the following: scope and methodology; Departments of Education and Labor component profiles; Departments of Education and Labor field offices and staff by locality; and comments from both departments.)
