Edward Charles Hugler (born February 7, 1950)[1] is Deputy Assistant Secretary for Operations in the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, under United States Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis.[2] That position has been his formal position at the United States Department of Labor since April 2000.[3] However, he served as Acting Secretary of Labor from February 2–24, 2009, when Solis's nomination by President Barack Obama became bogged down during Senate confirmation hearings.[4] He stepped down from the position when Solis was confirmed and sworn in as Secretary of Labor.[5]

As Deputy Assistant Secretary, Hugler oversees day-to-day operations in the Department's Business Operations Center, Civil Rights Center, and Human Resources Center, as well as its Information Technology Center.[6] From 1998 to 2000, he led the Department-wide Year 2000 transition, preparing systems in the Department's agencies for the year 2000, and managing associated contingency planning.[3] He has also held posts in the Department's Mine Safety and Health Administration and Office of the Solicitor.[3]
