Labor Day celebration: How President Trump is creating a brighter future for American workers

Labor Day celebration highlights Trump administration's pro-worker policies, with 500,000 private sector jobs created and blue-collar wages increasing 1.4% since inauguration.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer is the 30th secretary of labor.

As a mom of twin girls and a new grandmother, I understand that the reason behind our 9-to-5 is the people we gather with around the kitchen table. Our wage earners aren’t just punching the clock to stay busy. Their work has a purpose: supporting the next generation.

That’s why we applaud the work ethic and pride that the American worker applies to their job, because they’re not just growing the economy – they are proving the American Dream is alive and well for future generations.
