The White House has unveiled a plan to merge the Education and Labor departments into a single Cabinet agency: the Department of Education and the Workforce. The proposal is part of a 132-page document, Delivering Government Solutions in the 21st Century Reform Plan and Reorganization Recommendations, outlining a broad restructuring of the federal government. The changes would require congressional approval.
