Andrew Rogers was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on October 7, 2025, to be the 20th Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the Department of Labor—his second stint at WHD.
As the Administrator, Rogers is charged to lead the law enforcement agency responsible for interpreting and implementing federal minimum wage, overtime, and child labor requirements, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, the prevailing wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, the PUMP for Nursing Mothers Act, several employment standards and worker protections in the nation’s immigration laws, and other statutes. Together, these statutes cover more than 155 million workers at more than 12 million worksites across the United States.
Prior to becoming Administrator, Rogers served as the Acting General Counsel of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from February 2025 to November 2025, where he was responsible for managing and coordinating the agency’s nationwide litigation program and providing overall direction to all components of the Office of General Counsel. Prior to being designated by the President as Acting General Counsel, he served as Chief Counsel and Chief of Staff to the Chair.
During the first Trump Administration, he served as Senior Policy Advisor to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division. In this capacity, Rogers focused primarily on regulations and opinion letters.
Before his government service, Rogers represented and counseled clients on all aspects of wage and hour law for 12 years in private practice. He began his legal career clerking for Chief Judge Harvey Bartle III of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. He earned a B.A. from the University of Virginia with honors and a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law.
