More moments from today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, with Acting Commissioner Jarvis, and his friends and family by his side. @NJCivilService

Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee supported Kevin Jarvis to serve as the Commissioner of the @NJLaborDept. We look forward to working with him and the rest of Governor Sherrill’s administration to deliver for all of New Jersey’s workers and businesses.

The Senate Judiciary Committee today unanimously advanced Acting Commissioner Kevin D. Jarvis’s nomination as commissioner to the Senate. "As Labor Commissioner, I'll fight every day to ensure that every New Jersey worker is treated with the dignity and respect they deserve."

When I took office nine months ago, New Jersey’s unemployment rate was 5.2%. Today, it’s down to 4.2%. That’s real progress for New Jersey families – and we’re just getting started. While job growth stagnates nationwide under Donald Trump and American families face soaring grocery and gas prices, we’re charting a different path here in New Jersey. We’re focused on delivering what matters: lower costs, good jobs, less red tape from government, and more opportunities for our families and small businesses to get ahead.

Director Hauck joined @NJLaborDept Acting Commissioner Kevin Jarvis, @NJ_Veterans Commissioner Vincent Solomeno, @NJSP Acting Superintendent Jeanne Hengemuhle, and @NJDA Secretary Edward Wengryn for the New Jersey Employees Charitable Campaign Kickoff in Trenton last week.
