"Labor Day is an important opportunity for us to honor American workers who represent the backbone of our economy. With the creation of more than 7.3 million new jobs in the last 41 months, we must continue to ensure that every American is provided the opportunity to secure a good job.

At the Department of Commerce, we are committed to helping workers acquire the skills they need for high-quality, good-paying jobs.”
