Published Updated 3 Min Read

WASHINGTON—United States Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said Tuesday she knows that there are jobs out there that are not being filled because employers are looking for individuals that are flexible, adaptable and have the skill set to jump into another job.

 Speaking at the Newseum at a National Journal Live policy summit, Solis said that she hears from employers often, that “they want individuals that have that flexibility. The message for many is be ready to get into different types of areas of your career,” she said. “I say to folks . . . get as many credentials as you need.”
