On January 9, 2013, U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis submitted her resignation to President Obama.  She is apparently returning to private life in California.  In a press release on the Labor Department’s website, she is reported to have stated, in part: “Growing up in a large Mexican-American family in La Puente, California, I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to serve in a president’s Cabinet, let alone in the service of such an incredible leader.”
