U.S. Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer is stepping down, the White House said on Monday, adding that her deputy will serve as acting secretary.
"Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector," White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung said on X.
Her departure makes her the third to leave U.S. President Donald Trump's Cabinet in recent weeks.
Kristi Noem was fired as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in March, and Pam Bondi left as Attorney General less than a month later.
Chavez-Deremer took the helm of the agency in March 2025 after serving in the U.S. House of Representatives for two years.
Several of her aides, including her Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff, had also resigned in recent months amid an internal probe into allegations of misconduct at the department
