“Nobody in this country who works a full-time job should have to live in poverty,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez in San Francisco on May 27. Perez spoke at a forum on working families hosted by the White House, the Women’s Bureau and the Center for American Progress. It is one of several regional events leading up to the White House Summit on Working Families on June 23. Perez joined San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee; U.S. Reps. Nancy Pelosi, Mike Honda, Jackie Speier and Jared Huffman; CAP President Neera Tanden, and others in highlighting the challenges faced by working families. Speakers and panel participants discussed possible solutions, including access to affordable child care, paid leave and higher wages. Noting that the federal minimum wage has lost purchasing power, Perez argued that it should be raised to $10.10 per hour. “It’s a false choice that we either grow our economy or we help our families,” Perez said. “We can do both.”
