WASHINGTON—U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-08) today praised President Barack Obama’s nomination of Seth Harris, a resident of the Township of Montclair, to serve as the Deputy Secretary of Labor in the U.S. Department of Labor:
“Seth Harris’s nomination demonstrates President Obama’s will to return labor department policy back to the working people it was designed to serve and away from the failures of the last eight years. With record unemployment pummeling the workforce, Mr. Harris’s experience and expertise signal a promising return to the job opportunities and services workers need to lift America out of recession. I am pleased with the regional significance of Mr. Harris’s nomination and confident that it will help New Jersey’s labor interests be fully accounted for in the White House. The tandem of Secretary Hilda Solis and Deputy Secretary Seth Harris will make a strong leadership team for the Garden State’s working people.”
Seth Harris served as a top Department of Labor staff member in the Clinton Administration. To view more biographical information, please follow the link below:
