Former secretary of labor for Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, recently shared his thoughts on Vice President Kamala Harris’s new economic agenda. At a campaign rally in North Carolina, Harris unveiled her plans which include proposals to raise the federal minimum wage, provide paid family and medical leave, and ensure equal pay for equal work.
Reich praised Harris for addressing these crucial economic issues, stating that they are long overdue. He emphasized the importance of raising the federal minimum wage, which has not been increased since 2009, and highlighted the need for paid family and medical leave to support working families. Reich also commended Harris for prioritizing equal pay for women and people of color, noting that closing the wage gap is essential for achieving economic equality.
Overall, Reich expressed optimism about Harris’s economic agenda and called for bipartisan support to enact these much-needed reforms. He urged policymakers to prioritize the well-being of American workers and emphasized the significance of addressing income inequality and economic insecurity.
As the Biden-Harris administration continues to push for economic reforms, it is clear that the support and expertise of figures like Robert Reich will be instrumental in shaping a more equitable and prosperous future for all Americans.
