WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta issued the following statement regarding the release of the Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions:

“Today, President Trump made clear the progress his Administration is making in bringing common sense to regulations that hold back job creation and prosperity.  The President’s regulatory reform agenda is contributing to renewed economic optimism that has resulted in 1.7 million jobs since January and reduced unemployment to a 17-year low. The Department of Labor will continue to protect American workers’ interests while limiting the burdens of over-regulation.”
