On the last trading day of a holiday-shortened week, Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer reacted to the June employment report showing weaker-than-expected job creation. Stocks rose on that data, which fueled hopes that the Fed would be less likely to hike rates. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett joined the program with White House reaction to the jobs numbers.
