Live Twitter Chat with Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis this Thursday!

Every year, on the first Monday in September, we honor the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

In advance of Labor Day 2012, Secretary Solis – "America's Job Counselor" -- will host a live Twitter chat at 2 p.m. EDT, Thursday, August 30.

This is a great opportunity, especially for high school and college students, to ask questions and receive information on entering the workforce, finding job training programs and identifying up-and-coming careers.

Join the conversation by using the hashtag #LaborDay2012 or tweet questions in advance to @HildaSolisDOL.

We would also love your help with spreading the word about this important conversation with others in your network. Watch and share the promotional video created by Helen, one of the talented interns that worked at the Labor Department this summer.

Thank you and we look forward to a great discussion!
