Labor and Workforce Development

The Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) supports and protects California workers and employers. The LWDA is primarily responsible for three activities: labor law enforcement, workforce development, and benefit payment and adjudication. The primary objective of the LWDA is to serve workers and employers by coordinating its many services and programs in a manner that is efficient, effective, and relevant to current and future economic conditions. Funding for the programs will be $11.2 billion, a decrease of $310.7 million from the revised 2006-07 Budget. See Figure LWD-01 below.
