Trump Plans to Merge Depts. of Ed. and Labor; Merger Would Lead to "Ed.-to-Career Pipeline"

As part of his plan to "make the federal government more responsive and accountable to the American people," President Donald Trump has announced his intention to merge the federal Departments of Labor and Education, The New American website reports today (June 26, 2018).

"Billions and billions of dollars are being wasted on activities that are not delivering results for hardworking American taxpayers," the president said in a statement.

Combining these two federal agencies will, the president promises, "better meet the needs of American workers and students."

Ultimately, the president would like to "better integrate education and workforce programs" so as to "increase efficiencies and better serve American workers," all of which would be facilitated by the new department (called the Department of Education and the Workforce) and would culminate in the construction of an "education-to-career pipeline."
