labor relations. Routinely represented Governor at public appearances in the media and in
private negotiations. Played central role in resolution of state and regional labor disputes.

Chief Executive Officer the New Jersey Department of Labor, an agency of 4,000
employees, an annual revenue-stream of $2.4 billion-and a $375 million operating budget.
Agency charged with workforce training and preparation, protecting workers from
exploitation, and providing income security through benefit programs for injured, ill and
unemployed workers.
While in office, responsible for the creation, development and implementation
of a number of groundbreaking initiatives, including:
The landmark Workforce Development Partnership, which has helped to train and
upgrade worker skills since July 1992. The $50 million a year program is now
training over 15,000 workers, and has the capacity to help up to 45,000 workers
obtain the skills they need to remain competitive in today's high-tech, high-skill
economy.
The nation's first state-funded program to provide extended unemployment benefits
to workers who had exhausted their regular claims. Well over 100,000 New
Jerseyans took advantage of these benefits, with over $122 million disbursed to help
families meet their living expenses.
The New Jersey State Employment and Training Commission and the Employment
Security Council. These bipartisan bodies work closely with the Governor, the
Cabinet and Legislature to develop policies to improve how worker training and
employment security system function in New Jersey. The Commission and Council
have developed nation-wide reputations as leaders in reforming and revitalizing the
worker security system.
The increase of the state minimum wage to $5.05 per hour, which helped workers'
standard of living keep pace with the rate of inflation and provide dignity to families
at the lower end of the economic spectrum.
The management of the state's Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund, which, despite
the national recession and downturn in New Jersey economic activity, maintains a
current balance of $2.1 billion, one of the healthiest in the nation.
