Every Day Is Labor Day at the Labor Department
 |
The U.S. Department of Labor is going virtual this Labor Day, using various social media to get the message out. More than 1,400 microblogs were tweeted on Aug. 30 during a pre-Labor Day chat hosted by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis – better known as @HildaSolisDOL to her Twitter followers. The "conversation" ranged from understanding 401(k) fees to the work of the department's Wage and Hour Division investigators. Breaking-news about the winners of the Office of Disability Employment Policy's recent app challenge was also announced. Earlier in the day, Solis was the featured speaker during a "State of the Latino Worker" webinar for media and stakeholders across the country.

She discussed the economic progress in the Latino community, and work the department is doing on behalf of Hispanic women, youth, veterans and vulnerable workers. "Labor Day is every day here at the Labor Department," Solis stated at both events. And it's true. The department has created a special Labor Day webpage, where you can watch Solis' Labor Day video message, find fascinating presentations about the history of the Labor Department, and resources available for workers.
