Former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao calls Biden job vacancy rate 'shocking' in exclusive interview
Fox News
Former labor secretary under President George W. Bush, Elaine Chao told Fox News on Wednesday that the current state of the labor force is "shocking."
Chao, the wife of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told "The Story" in an exclusive interview that when she was Labor Secretary in 2000, the number of vacant job openings was half what it is today. "I think there are facts that support the fact that so few of our workers are working. If you look at the labor participation rate when I was labor secretary, it was 67% out of a workforce of 157 million people. That labor participation rate has dropped to 61.6%," she said. "So there's a whole swath of people that are not coming back to the workforce," Chao continued.
