| 0:00.0 | Welcome, welcome, welcome to the David Packman Show. |
| 0:10.0 | My name is Dan Co. |
| 0:11.2 | I am not David Packman. |
| 0:13.0 | David is with his family. |
| 0:14.3 | First and foremost, let us all congratulate David and his family on their second addition |
| 0:19.7 | to this world. |
| 0:23.2 | I am the host of the People's Cabinet podcast. We interview leaders who are guiding our country's future and doing explainers and |
| 0:28.7 | analysis on the news that you're reading every day. So a little bit about me. I used to work in the |
| 0:35.1 | White House first as the deputy director of intergovernmental affairs |
| 0:39.3 | for President Biden, and then before that, Deputy Cabinet Secretary. What the heck do both of those |
| 0:43.9 | mean? Well, first and foremost, I was in charge of helping to oversee coordination between |
| 0:49.7 | the President's Cabinet and the President. So anything related to messaging, et cetera, we would |
| 0:55.8 | coordinate. Intergovernmental affairs was about making sure that our governors and mayors have |
| 1:01.0 | what they needed on any given day. Sometimes that was something as mundane as a White House tour. |
| 1:06.3 | Other days, it was disaster response. Before that, I was chief of staff at the Department of Labor, working under |
| 1:13.4 | Secretary Marty Walsh. One of the things we did there was the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We oversaw that |
| 1:18.8 | as part of the agency, and I'll get to that in just a little bit. And before that, I was chief of staff |
| 1:24.5 | to Ariana Huffington at the Huffington Post and then was in City Hall |
| 1:28.0 | in Boston as Mayor Walsh's chief of staff. So been able to see government a little bit from both |
| 1:32.8 | the local level and the federal level. It's given me some interesting insights that I hope to |
| 1:37.8 | be able to share with you all today. So please subscribe to David Packman's channel right here. |
| 1:43.5 | Also subscribe to my channel, the People's Cabinet. You can see it in the links below. And let's get started. Okay, the Bureau of Labor Statistics probably for the first time in your lives has been in the news a lot lately. And I want to break it down a little bit. So every month, there is a report that is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that sits under the Department of Labor. |
