Solis is labor secretary after several weeks' delay

With Solis now a member of Obama's cabinet, the beginning of the rejuvenation of the labor market can begin. She is more committed to helping the common worker than the previous administration, but it may come at a significant cost to businesses. She will be key in helping oversee the jobs created/saved by the stimulus plan and so it will be important for her to get started as soon as possible on her strategy for overseeing the significant increase in job creation. Also, having been at the airplane hearing yesterday, she may be able to help pilots and airline employees gain back some of the benefits they have lost over the last eight years due to a struggling airline industry.
