Background

The foundation of the American Dream rests on the belief that hard work pays off – making it possible to improve your life, care for your family and reach your goals. Work is changing, but America has always been a country filled with hard workers. On this Labor Day, we're celebrating workers by promoting good jobs and providing the tools and resources they need to succeed.

This Labor Day, U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh is eager to share how the department is celebrating the strength of America's workers while promoting good jobs and providing the tools and resources they need to succeed. Take a look at www.dol.gov/laborday

At [ORGANIZATION] we are proud of all the workers in our community because [LIST SPECIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS].

Since President Biden took office, we've added 9.5 million jobs to the economy and the unemployment rate has plunged to 3.5 percent, matching a 53-year low. At every turn, working people are seizing opportunities and proving that even though work is changing, America is a country filled with hard workers. And the jobs that will be created under the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act will only build on this momentum.

As we recognize Labor Day this year, take a moment to see how the U.S. Department of Labor and the Biden-Harris administration are empowering workers by promoting good jobs and providing the tools and resources they need to succeed: www.dol.gov/laborday 

We hope you'll join us in celebrating the incredible achievements of America's workers this Labor Day, and in thanking them for helping lift our nation all the way back from the depths of a global pandemic.

Sincerely,

[NAME]
