MS. PSAKI: Hey. Hi, everyone. We were a little early today. I apologize for that. Okay, so good afternoon and happy “Jobs Day.” Today I’m honored to have Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen join me here.
Secretary Yellen has almost 50 years of experience in academia and public service. She’s the first person in history to have led the White House Council of Economic Advisers, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury Department.
Her scholarship has focused on a range of issues pertaining to labor and macroeconomics. And her work on efficiency wages with her husband, George Akerlof, showed that firms that offer better pay and working conditions tend to be rewarded with higher morale, reduce turnover, and greater productivity.

Social media has been his weapon of choice for battling Republican dissidents, but Donald Trump is seeking to tighten his iron grip on the party even after a ruling Wednesday extending his ban on Facebook.
Despite losing the presidency to Joe Biden last year and enduring a second impeachment after January s deadly insurrection at the US Capitol, the brash billionaire remains his party s most influential figure.
He made clear he knows it Wednesday, reiterating his false claims of election fraud and demanding a leadership shake-up which led his former rival Biden to declare that a mini-revolution was upending the Republican Party.
