White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said the overall US economy is 'really, really booming,' pushing back against data from a bleak jobs report that showed weakness in the labor market. His remarks highlight a gap between official upbeat messaging and hiring figures, drawing attention from economists and political commentators weighing which better reflects the economy's true state.

Why now: The contrast between rosy White House rhetoric and disappointing jobs data is fueling debate about the economy's health.
