"Like so many Americans, Tom knows what it is like to climb the ladder of opportunity," Obama said, adding that Perez made protecting the promise of equal opportunity for all "a cause of his life." Perez thanked Obama in both English and Spanish for what he called the honor of the opportunity.
He pledged to work with organized labor, the business community, grassroots organizations and Congress, adding that he looked forward to meeting with senators from both parties to discuss the way forward. "True progress is possible if you keep and open mind, listen to all sides and focus on results," Perez said.
