Many of them it's their second or third job. So this only makes sense in the care's economy.

Well the first step is we need to pass it, and the 400 billion dollar investment is key.

That's why I introduced the Care for All agenda earlier this spring to call for raising pay, benefits, protections and standards for all care workers and to ensure pathways for unionization by creating millions of new care jobs over the…

$15.00 an hour minimum wage is something that we need to advocate for. Every single American deserves it.

What I do support is President Biden's American Rescue Plan that is getting millions of Americans back to work.

I was not aware of these incidents when I appointed Dennis White as Commissioner of Boston.

What I was referencing, first of all this is my 78th day on the job, so I'm still learning as I move forward.

The American Jobs Plan, President Biden's plan is to invest 10 billion dollars over the next 10 years into creating two million new jobs in our country.

I think that the American jobs plan is going to be focusing on how we retrain workers for the jobs of today.

I absolutely want to go to a tour, absolutely no question about it.

I do understand the problem, and I know that there's lots of different opinions and conversations on this.

The investment that President Biden wants to make into that critical industry as you know that 400 billion dollars is not just in the facility, but it's also in respecting the worker and raising their wages and give them opportunities to…

The pandemic was a perfect storm for people with mental health and substance use issues because we were telling people to isolate.

There is not a Member of this Committee that a family Member is not dealing with the issue of mental health or substance use disorder.

I'm not going to comment on it until the regulation comes back.

The way I could do that is I raised my right hand and I swore on a bible to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and I uphold it to carry out the functions as Secretary of Labor, and I take that very seriously, and I…

It's a way for us to respect the worker and their benefits.

It's time for us to deal with this.

Paid family leave and medical leave for women would be a tremendous benefit.

In some cases, they're paying zero, and he's made a commitment to every average American that makes $400,000.00 or less, will not pay one more cent in taxes.

The President's plan is working right now.

I think that I'm very encouraged that the American Jobs Plan is an amazing investment all across America.

We owe the American people more, and I hope that we can get the $15.00 an hour minimum wage passed in both branches of the government.

A $15.00 minimum wage is a baseline that would be able to help people earn higher wages, a better living.

The minimum wage in this country is too low. There's no way that a family of one can raise themselves on $7.25.
