Sonderling has held the acting position since April 20. The prior secretary resigned amid an investigation into alleged misconduct.
Hearing Details The session is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. EDT.
Committee members are expected to question Sonderling on his plans for the department.
The hearing follows the department's June employment report, which showed job growth falling short of forecasts. May inflation data released by the department reached its highest level in three years, driven mainly by price increases linked to the Iran conflict.
