Solis: Let's Roll Up Our Sleeves and Work Together to Get America Back to Work


by James Parks, Mar 3, 2010

Creating good jobs that offer affordable health care and retirement security is the Obama administration’s top priority, U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis today told members of the AFL-CIO Executive Council meeting in Orlando, Fla.

Solis, who met with some of the workers who spoke at a forum Monday night, said:

I wake up every morning worried about the millions of Americans out of work-about the millions of Americans who have given up even looking for the jobs that aren’t there. None of us expected this and we did not create this crisis-but each and everyone one of us is called to do more.
