U.S. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving her post, a White House official announced April 20.
The former businesswoman from Oregon who was appointed to President Donald Trump’s cabinet last year will take a position in the private sector, according to White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung.
“She has done a phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives,” Cheung said.
Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling will serve as acting secretary of labor, Cheung said.
