2026: New Year. New Career

Frances Perkins, the first woman in a U.S. presidential Cabinet, served as Secretary of Labor under FDR. A champion of workers’ rights, she helped shape New Deal policies like Social Security, minimum wage, and child labor laws. Inspired by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, she led major labor reforms that left a lasting legacy in American labor protections (Yamamoto, 2025). How do you see her legacy reflected in today’s workforce?
