Andrew Puzder knows a thing or two about creating jobs. As CEO of CKE Restaurants, the parent company of many famous brands including Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, Puzder has seen firsthand how government policies can help or hurt job creation. In his new book, “Job Creation: How It Really Works and Why Government Doesn’t Understand It“, Puzder and co-author Dave Newton share what they have learned.

Puzder spoke at Heritage this week and sat down with Heritage to talk about his experience in the business world.

In the interview, he discussed the burden government places on job creators. “Government just doesn’t understand how much uncertainty it creates in the market when it attempts to regulate what the private sector does,” he said, “And it really doesn’t understand what the private sector does.”
