US Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer is praising a strong July jobs report, citing 3% GDP growth in the second quarter. The jobs report shows native-born workers accounting for all job gains since the President’s inauguration and wages continue to rise. Economic improvements have been consistent over several months, with lower prices, a booming stock market, and half a million new jobs created.
Chavez-DeRemer credits President Trump’s “America First” agenda and fair trade deals with the economic growth. She also highlights investments and tax relief for workers and families, which will further create jobs and grow the economy. The Department of Labor remains focused on providing pathways to good-paying jobs and secure retirements for all Americans.
