The Employment Standards Administration (ESA) was the largest agency within the U.S. Department of Labor. Its four subagencies enforced and administered laws governing legally mandated wages and working conditions, including child labor, minimum wages, overtime pay, and family and medical leave; equal employment opportunity in businesses with federal contracts and subcontracts; workers' compensation for certain employees injured on their jobs; internal union democracy, financial integrity, and union elections, which protect the rights of union members; and other laws and regulations governing employment standards and practices.

It was created as the Wage and Labor Standards Administration in July 1967, and contained the Women's Bureau, Bureau of Labor Standards, Office of Federal Contract Compliance, Bureau of Employees' Compensation, and Employees' Compensation Appeals Board. In July 1969 the Wage and Hour Division became a part of it. In August 1970, it was renamed the Workplace Standards Administration, and in 1971, it was renamed the Employment Standards Administration. In May 1971, the Bureau of Labor Standards became the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and was moved outside ESA. in January 1978, the Women's Bureau became independent within the Department of Labor.

The ESA was eliminated on November 8, 2009. As of that date, ESA's four subagencies are now independent and report directly to the United States Secretary of Labor.

The Economic Stabilization Agency (ESA) was an agency of the United States Government that existed from 1950 to 1953.

The creation of the ESA was authorized by the Defense Production Act (Pub.L. 81–774, 64 Stat. 798), which was signed into law by President of the United States Harry S. Truman on September 8, 1950. The Defense Production Act was passed in response to the start of the Korean War and authorized the President to control the civilian economy so that scarce and/or critical materials necessary to the national defense effort are available for defense needs.

On September 9, 1950, President Truman signed the Executive Order 10161, thus creating the ESA. The ESA was responsible for imposing price ceilings and wage controls on the United States economy. In this capacity, the ESA was responsible for supervising the Office of Price Stabilization, the Wage Stabilization Board, the Salary Stabilization Board, the Office of Rent Stabilization, the Railroad and Airline Wage Board, and the National Enforcement Commission.

The price control provisions of the Defense Production Act expired in 1953, so, on February 6, 1953, President Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10434 abolishing the ESA effective April 30, 1953. Executive Order 10480, signed August 14, 1953, ordered the liquidation of the ESA, and this was complete by October 31, 1953.
