In his campaign promise to make America great again, President
Donald Trump vowed to “bring jobs back to America” and revitalize
the nation’s labor industry. Now, one hundred days into the Trump
presidency, some might be wondering: Where are all of those jobs?
Believers say job creation is right around the corner, while
critics argue little has been done, as Trump has mostly focused on
rhetoric instead of policy. In an effort to untangle such labor
issues, professors Julian Zelizer and Sam Wang interview
Christopher P. Lu ‘88, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor. In
this episode, Lu provides an inside look at the Department of Labor
as well as the Trump transition.
