                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                    (Executive Budget: pp. 57-62)

The Department of Labor is the lead agency for workforce development
and workplace issues. It is charged with the responsibility of
administering State and Federal employment and training programs.  The
agency is also responsible for the administration of the Unemployment
Insurance Benefit Fund as well as the enforcement of regulations that
ensure the safety of workers in the workplace.  There are six major
programs in the Department:  Employment and Training, Employment
Relations Board, Labor Standards, Occupational Safety and Health,
Unemployment Insurance Benefit, and Administration. The Department's
central office is located in Albany and Employment Service offices are
operational throughout the State.

The agency is included in the Education, Labor, and Family Assistance
appropriation bill.

On an All Funds basis, the Executive recommends appropriations
totaling $5,767,240,000 which reflects an increase of $1,583,959,200
or 37.8 percent from the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2001-02 funding
level.

State Operations

The Executive recommends an All Funds State Operations appropriation
of $5,408,996,000, a $1,543,011,100 or 39.9 percent increase from the
SFY 2001-02 level.  This is due to an increase in appropriation
authority for the Unemployment Insurance Benefit Fund from
3,250,000,000 in SFY 2001-02 to $4,800,000,000.

The Executive recommends appropriations totaling $2,300,000 for the
Green Teams, $1,440,000 from the General Fund and $860,000 from
Temporary Assistance For Needy Families (TANF) Surplus Funds.  Youth
Education, Employment and Training Program (YEETP) is funded at
$8,958,700 of which $4,690,700 is from the General Fund and $4,268,000
is funded through TANF. 

The Executive recommends appropriations totaling $15,000,000 for the
Summer Youth Employment Program from the TANF Surplus.

Appropriations for the Unemployment Insurance Interest and Penalty
Fund decreased by $1,209,000 from $12,284,000 in SFY 2001-02 to
$11,075,000.  Funding for the Displaced Homemaker Program has
decreased by $2,105,400 from $5,132,400 to $3,027,000.

Aid to Localities

The Executive recommends All Funds appropriations of $358,244,000, an
increase of $40,948,100 or 12.9 percent from SFY 2001-02 levels.

The Executive proposes no new funding for the Strategic Training
Alliance Program but adds language to the reappropriation of
$34,000,000 which would allocate $7,500,000 to SUNY and $2,500,000 to
CUNY for workforce training projects.
