YOUTUBE (The Hill) - Watch live: Acting Labor chief Keith Sonderling faces Senate confirmation hearing
Acting Labor Department Secretary Keith Sonderling will testify before the Senate Housing, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Thursday morning on his nomination by President Trump to lead the department full-time. Sonderling has served in the acting role since April 20, after former Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned amid a probe into alleged misconduct. The confirmation hearing comes as the U.S. job market slowed down in June, falling far short of expectations, according to recent data released by the department. In May, inflation also rose to its highest rate in three years driven largely by price shocks tied to the Iran war. #departmentoflabor #keithsonderling #senate
