2:45Now PlayingThe Labor Department reported on Friday that the U.S. added 162,000 jobs in August, a jump from what economists predicted, though the unemployment rate remained at a low 4.1%
"It's really one of the biggest blowout, skyrocketing job numbers that we've seen in a long time," Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, touted.
Asked why no one is feeling the benefits of a good economy, Mr. Hassett replied, "I just don't accept that fact that no one's feeling the benefit. The 90,000 people that have jobs now building factories, they're feeling the benefit."
