A century ago, the US Department of Labor was founded, giving new Secretary Thomas Perez the honor of presiding during its 100th anniversary. This summer, Governor Kitzhaber named a new Workforce Policy Coordinator and head of the Oregon Employment Department. 

How can these leaders make a difference on workforce issues today?
