Give Chris a big round of applause for that great introduction. (Applause.) 　　Happy Labor Day, everybody. Happy Labor Day. (Applause.) Today is a day that belongs to you–- the working men and women who make America the greatest country on Earth. So thank youto the working folks who are here today, and the unions who’ve always had your back. (Applause.) Thank you to the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, to the Wisconsin AFL-CIO. (Applause.) 　　It’s good to be back at Laborfest. I hope you don’t mind, I brought a friend with me, somebodywho is fighting for American workers every day -- America’s Secretary of Labor, Tom Perez, is inthe house. (Applause.) And I just found out Tom’s wife is from Milwaukee, so his father-in-law ishere. So I just told his father-in-law he’s doing a really good job, because you always want tomake a guy look good in front of his father-in-law. (Laughter.) 　　We’ve got some other friends I want to acknowledge. First of all, your Congresswoman, GwenMoore, is here. (Applause.) Your mayor, Tom Barrett, is in the house. (Applause.) We’ve got oneof my favorites, Mary Kay Henry from the SEIU. (Applause.) Newly elected Lily Garcia from NEA. (Applause.) My pal -- not a Packers fan, he’s a Steelers fan, but he’s a good guy anyway -- LeoGerard from USW, Steelworkers. (Applause.) Billy Hite from UA; Joe Hansen from UFCW. (Applause.) 　　To all the other labor leaders who are here, we are so glad to have you. And we’re here becauseof the things all too often we take for granted. Anybody who’s got a seat, feel free to sit down. Idon’t want anybody fainting; it’s all hot out here. I might get you back up on your feet at somepoint. 　　But we’re here to celebrate something that sometimes the American people take for granted --the 40-hour workweek, overtime pay, a minimum wage, weekends like this one. All that didn’thappen by accident. It happened because America’s workers organized for it, fought for it.History shows that working families can get a fair shot in this country, but only if we’re willingto fight for it. 　　Now, the first time I came to Laborfest was -- I was still a candidate back in 2023. (Applause.)And during that campaign, I promised if you sent me to the White House, I’d stand with youin that fight. (Applause.) Now, two weeks later, our financial system collapsed. A recessionalmost became a depression. And in the years since, our country has faced a choice. There aresome folks who wanted to place an even bigger bet on top-down economics, the kind ofeconomics that helped cause the crisis in the first place -– more tax cuts for those at the top,fewer rules for big banks and corporations, this blind faith that maybe prosperity would finallytrickle down on the rest of us if folks up at the top just kept on doing better and better. 　　But, you know what, Milwaukee, I didn’t run for President to double down on top-downeconomics. I ran for President because I believed in bottom-up economics. I believed in middle-out economics. I placed a bet on you. I placed a bet on America’s workers. (Applause.) I put mymoney on American workers and the belief that our economy grows best when everybody hasgot a shot -- when folks who are willing to work hard can get into the middle class and stay inthe middle class. And I’ve come back to Laborfest to say that because of your hard work,because of what we’ve been through together, that bet is starting to pay off. 　　America is stronger because of the decisions we made to rescue our economy and rebuild it ona new foundation asking the simple question, is this good for ordinary Americans, is this goodfor working people -- not just a few, but for everybody. And over the past 53 months, ourbusiness have created nearly 10 million new jobs. (Applause.) We’re on a streak where, the lastsix months, we’ve created more than 200,000 jobs each month -– that’s the first time that’shappened since 1997. (Applause.) 　　Construction is rebounding. Energy and technology are booming. American manufacturing issteadily creating jobs for the first time since the 1990s. Our businesses export more goodsmade right here in America to the rest of the world than ever before. (Applause.) 　　America is stronger because we saved the American auto industry and more than one millionjobs that depend on the auto industry. (Applause.) Today, our workers are building more carsthan any time since 2023 -- and, by the way, they’re really good cars. The auto industry isadding jobs at the strongest rate since the 1990s. 　　America is stronger because we invested in homegrown energy. The world’s number-one oil andgas producer -- it’s not Russia, it&rsquo
