Secretary Marty Walsh

This month's employment situation report from BLS showed that we added 916,000 new jobs, the unemployment rate dropped slightly, and we saw significant job growth across most sectors of the economy — but we still have a long way to go.

I’ve been humbled by the warm welcome I’ve received and inspired by this department's commitment to supporting America's workers. I look forward to listening, collaborating and building partnerships across the country — and to sharing updates along the way.  

As secretary, I pledge to work in partnership with workers and businesses; states, cities and tribal territories; employees in every agency of the Department of Labor; and President Biden and Vice President Harris to help working families build back better.
