Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Our backgrounds and experiences are important parts of what we bring to the workplace.
This month, I'll be highlighting the amazing work that AA and NHPI staff at
@USDOL
do to serve America's workers.
"Made in America" is our economic strategy. It connects people in ALL communities to high-quality, good-paying jobs while making sure workers earn their fair share.
It’s
#NationalYouthApprenticeshipWeek
!
50% of jobs require more than a high school diploma but less than a 4-year-degree. By creating incentives and opportunities to expand access to certified apprenticeship programs, we will support the next generation of the workforce.
We're committed to making sure every miner can come home safe and healthy at the end of every workday.

Made in America is not just a slogan, it's
@POTUS
' economic strategy.
It's how we're making the American Dream a reality for workers across the country.
Today, I joined
@VP
in Detroit to announce $100 million to spark even more economic opportunities in Motor City and across the U.S.
For Michigan, this means growing the manufacturing workforce with good-paying union jobs to electrify the auto industry with American-made parts.
Good jobs don't happen by accident. We have to be intentional about creating them. That's why I'm glad to join
@VP
today to talk about our Detroit Workforce Hub!
This hub will make sure that autoworkers get the training they need to stay on the cutting edge of this industry.
Our overtime rule is going to help millions of salaried workers get the overtime pay they deserve.
I have my good friend
@RepMaxwellFrost

ICYMI: Thanks to
@ActSecJulieSu
and
@POTUS
, millions more workers will be eligible for overtime pay. This pro-worker action puts us one step closer to a more equitable America, where we all get our fair share! ⤵️
When we expand opportunities to more individuals and communities, we do right by everyone.
That's why
@POTUS
is working to create an economy that leaves no one behind.
