23. Yes! I spent a lot of time in meetings and conferences in the Postal Square Building

(which is located directly across the street from Union Station) between 1992 & 2020 while I was working as a Statistician for my state. BLS had started planning the move to Maryland shortly before the pandemic hit, then the pandemic delayed the new building being ready (they were supposed to move in 2022). I believe they finally moved late last year.

The France Perkins Building is where much of the other agencies within the Department of Labor are located.
