The outlook for American workers on this Labor Day is positive in terms
of the growing number of good jobs, a declining level of non-inflationary
unemployment and a gradual but steady movement toward more diversity in the
workplace.
But the challenge remains: Americans need better access to education
and job skills. The Administration is committed to this, but the private sector
must do its part as well. Working families also need health insurance and
pension benefits both on the job and as they move from job to job. Here, too
we've made progress but there's far more to do. Finally, employees need more
clout at the workplace.
The economy is strong. The share of profits in national output is
unsurpassed in almost three decades. America is growing at a healthy clip and
can grow even faster if we build the skills of our workforce. But a just
society requires more. The fruits of this rich economy must be within the reach
of all hard-working Americans. That's the nation's agenda on this and future
Labor Days.
