The Kentucky Labor Cabinet's mission is to advance a well-trained workforce, protect the worker, compensate the injured, promote employer excellence, and ensure Kentucky's place as the hub of workplace innovation and distinction in America and around the world.
"Our top priority at the Labor Cabinet is to ensure that every worker returns home in the same shape that they arrived to work in," said Labor Cabinet Secretary Derrick Ramsey. "Many things have changed in Kentucky's workforce, so join us monthly to celebrate the achievements the Kentucky Labor Cabinet produces."
