Secretary Chao Unveils Budget for FY 2007
and announces Job Training Innovations and More Resources for Worker Protection
U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao outlined the President's Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 Labor Department budget, which provides added resources for enforcement and compliance assistance to protect workers' health, safety, pay and benefits; and for updating key economic data. The budget also proposes new job training reforms to make federal-state training programs more flexible and effective, and calls for passage of several legislative initiatives related to the department's agencies and programs.
"The President's budget protects worker safety, health and long term retirement security while striving to be fiscally responsible with taxpayers' dollars to optimize and provide effective programs. This has been a hallmark of the Department of Labor in this Administration," said Secretary Chao. "Additional resources are directed to job training initiatives that deliver results for workers; and we will continue our aggressive, record-breaking enforcement of federal laws protecting workers' wages, benefits, health and safety."

The Hudson Employment IndexSM remained on par with December’s 103.4 reading as U.S. worker confidence slipped just .8
points to 102.6 in January. The most notable change contributing to this slight decline was the flagging optimism about hiring
amongst managers. However, overall hiring expectations and job satisfaction held steady in January with only negligible shifts
in employees’ perceptions of their finances and job security. Buoyed by December’s strong Index, the latest reading is higher
than most recorded in 2005, although well below the 107.0 reading in January 2005.
The survey also found that Hispanic workers were less optimistic than the overall workforce, as were people who work in the legal profession.
The Indexes for these sectors, segmented for the first time in this month’s survey, stood at 98.1 and 100.4, respectively.
