How to decode Javascript/jQuery [object Object]

Question

I have this HTML:

<input class="radio" type="radio" name="which_app" value="" id="whichApp1" required>
<label class="left-narrow" for="whichApp1">Program #1</label><br />
<input class="radio" type="radio" name="which_app" value="" id="whichApp2">
<label class="left-narrow" for="whichApp2">Program #2</label>

I have this script:

$( 'input[type=radio][name=which_app]' ).change( function() {
  var label = $("label[for='"+$(this).attr('id')+"']");
  alert( label );
}

I get this pop-up alert:

How can I decode the [object Object] to get the label that was clicked on? (there are other reasons for not using value="" at this time so I am trying to focus solely on the label. Thank you)

Use this

alert(label.html());

or

to get the text

alert(label.text());
