U.S. National Economic Council (NEC) Director Kevin Hassett issued a statement on the current state of the country's economy.

Noting that economic indicators were performing positively, Hassett said, "If you look at the overall economy, things are really going very well. For example, right now, 83,000 construction workers are building factories."

Providing information on unemployment insurance, Hassett said, "This is a number we've never seen before. Initial claims for unemployment insurance are at their lowest level since World War II."

Addressing the earnings of construction and manufacturing workers, Hassett said, "The salary of a typical construction or manufacturing worker in the U.S. increased by $3,000 to $4,000 under the President, while under Joe Biden it fell by about $3,000 because the manufacturing sector collapsed. We would always prefer our record to his."
