WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Labor announced a comprehensive deregulatory agenda last week, detailing plans to roll back 63 regulations in a bid to stimulate job creation and strengthen economic opportunities for American workers and businesses.
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer emphasized that the initiative aligns with President Donald J. Trump’s broader push to dismantle restrictive federal rules and reignite economic expansion. The effort marks the department’s most ambitious regulatory rollback to date and positions it as a leader among federal agencies in eliminating red tape.
“One of President Trump’s very first actions was directing his cabinet to dismantle the mountain of outdated rules that have held back American workers and businesses for far too long,” Chavez-DeRemer stated, highlighting the administration’s commitment to restoring economic dynamism.
Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling further underscored the administration’s strategy, contrasting it with prior approaches that, he argued, expanded government at the expense of job and wage growth.
Building on the regulatory philosophy established during Trump’s first term — which required eliminating two regulations for every new rule introduced — the current directive raises the bar by mandating the removal of ten existing regulations for each new one.
With this latest announcement, the Department of Labor aims to accelerate economic momentum by reducing compliance costs, empowering small businesses, and enhancing flexibility for workers nationwide.
The sweeping rollback is part of the administration’s broader goal to deliver what it describes as the “greatest economic comeback in American history,” reaffirming a policy focus on deregulation as a central driver of prosperity.
