Nominating Andrew Rogers as Wage and Hour Administrator

President Trump nominated Andrew Rogers to head Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD).  If confirmed, Rogers will oversee the enforcement of labor protections such as the federal minimum wage, overtime pay, employment standards for immigrant workers, and prevailing wage requirements for federal contracts.  Rogers is currently the Acting General Counsel at the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC). Prior to his time at the EEOC, Rogers served in the WHD under the first Trump administration. Before joining the WHD, Rogers worked as a labor and employment attorney at Littler Mendelson PC, a management-side law firm.
