United Technologies CEO Greg Hayes says that, since the election, an increase in consumer sentiment has reflected positively in the company's bottom line.
"The current administration has reached out to business in a way the last administration has never done," Hayes told "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer on Friday.
"I think getting a chance to go to the White House to have your voice heard is very, very important and I think the Trump administration is trying to do the right thing to bring jobs back to America, to grow the American economy and we're certainly supportive of all of those things."

Shortage of elevator installers? Not exactly Obama created fast food jobs or paychecks.

Shovel Ready!!!
Suck One Obamy.
I just have to laugh - the 0bama bootlickers at CNBC who have been lying for 8 years now have to report things like this.
And less than 2 months into the Presidency!
The last administration did not hate private enterprise.
This one, I mean. Whatever.
I believe the Obama administration has hurt job creation in two big ways:
First, President Obama himself is the most anti-business president in my lifetime. With rhetoric not befitting a president he has attacked oil companies, banks, airplane users, Wall Street and anyone who makes money. Yet, he seems to forget that if you are making money you are in the best position to create jobs.
When the president of the United States is using the bully pulpit to excoriate business at every turn and push the 99 and one percent rhetoric, he is leading by dividing. CEOs are understandably reluctant to invest and hire when they believe the nations CEO is out to get them.
“This one, I mean. Whatever.”
Priceless!
