NEC Director Kevin Hassett on the blockbuster August jobs report: "There is a lot of policy success underneath it...

NEC Director Kevin Hassett: "Initial claims for unemployment insurance are the lowest they've been since the 1960s, and as you know, the labor force is much bigger than it was in the 1960s, and so to have claims that low is a sign that we really are running on all cylinders."
