What happened

NBC6 reported that Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling was in South Florida meeting community leaders and visiting Port Miami and other local businesses, including a tour of Nexa, described in the segment as the fastest-growing tech company in South Florida, founded in Miami and recently opened for design and engineering in Hollywood, according to the report.

Sonderling said he came back to South Florida to talk about what is happening in Washington and in President Trump’s second term on the workforce, and said the administration has created 900,000 new private-sector jobs in the second term — the high-paying, high-skilled private-sector jobs the president promised to bring back, now appearing across the board and in South Florida, according to Sonderling.

Nexa’s president said the visit was an opportunity to explain how the company is trying to grow and expand its engineering, hardware, deployment, and shipping resources in South Florida, according to the segment. Sonderling said American workers must get the new jobs and the skills they require, and that he also came to talk with local education systems about working with industry so the needed skills are actually taught locally, according to Sonderling.

Why it matters

The visit is the Labor Department’s regional version of its national jobs argument: a named local employer used to illustrate the skills-and-jobs pipeline Sonderling says the department is building.
