Today, Vice President Kamala Harris is announcing that the Labor Department (DOL) will publish a rule that advances the Administration's economic vision to build the economy from the bottom up and middle out - not the top down - by ensuring investments in America lead to jobs where construction workers are paid fairly, including the 84% of who don't have a college degree. The rule, which advances President Biden's Executive Order 14008, will mean thousands of extra dollars per year in workers' pockets to help put a down payment on a home, save for retirement, or simply have more breathing room.
Vice President Harris, Chair of the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, is making the announcement in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania alongside Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su.
