How the Presidency Has Shaped Work, Workers, and the Workplace

The presidency has far-reaching effects beyond policy headlines—it shapes the very nature of how we work, who does the work, and where it happens. From labor laws and economic strategies to federal workplace regulations and executive orders, presidential decisions influence job markets, worker rights, and organizational norms across the country.

This Hub provides insights into key actions and developments from the Trump administration’s first 100 days, emphasizing their potential impact on workplaces and workforces. Please check back frequently to find the latest updates or contact us for more information about our public policy priorities.
