Today it seems like there is a smartphone application for just about everything. From games, food delivery services and even reminders to water your houseplants, apps help streamline our lives and while keeping us informed.
At the Department of Labor, we’ve designed several apps to help with timekeeping, exploring new jobs, staying safe in the heat and more. Though we can’t get a pizza to your door or help keep your plants alive, will make it easier to access important work resources and our latest data.
