Edward C. Hugler 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.[1] That position has been his formal position at the United States Department of Labor since April 2000.[2] 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.[3] He stepped down from the position when Solis was confirmed and sworn in as Secretary of Labor.[4]

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.[5] 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.[2] He has also held posts in the Department's Mine Safety and Health Administration and Office of the Solicitor.[2]
