By idealizing an all-White, male workforce, the Labor Department’s campaign doesn’t just distort reality — it echoes a long history of propaganda that centers whiteness & erases the contributions of women & workers of color.

The campaign has drawn scrutiny, with critics saying it is not realistically portraying the country’s diversity and is sending messages that feel exclusionary.
