More NH Job Losses

From Seacoastonline"

After months of speculation, Exeter Health Resources announced Thursday the reduction of 110 full-time-equivalent positions spread between Exeter Hospital, Core Physicians, Exeter Healthcare and Synergy Health & Fitness.

In addition, 75 employees at Exeter Healthcare, a 28-bed, subacute skilled nursing facility, were told their positions would be affected by the closure of that facility within the next six to 12 months.

That's 110 jobs cut right away, and 75 more coming. What is the NHGOP job loss total now? I'm guessing around 1500 jobs, and counting. Heckova job, Mr. Speaker.

Waiting for the magic (4.00 / 1)
that creates jobs in a global recession by cutting government spending.  (They're waiting in the US House and in Europe too.) What really puzzles me is that these are the same people who want to ban Harry Potter in schools.
It's far more than 1500, sadly. (4.00 / 2)
Peter Leishman's campaign is doing a great job keeping this updated: http://peterleishman.org/?page...

It doesn't have today's numbers, however, adding in the immediate 110, we have lost 1,997 jobs.

I was sure someone had kept track.

The O'Brien junta was quick to take responsibility for the  state unemployment rate going down a few months ago (before their budget kicked in) but I don't see them taking any responsibility for this.

...the speaker assured us jobs would come flocking to NH with this budget.

ah yes, flocking jobs (0.00 / 0)
and transparency in the NH House!

The jobs are there. There's lots of work needing to be done. (0.00 / 0)
What's missing is money to pay people in compensation for doing the work.  
Why is there no money?  Now that money is made out of paper or electronic bits, the Treasury can surely make all the money we need. (Indeed, there's millions of gold colored dollar coins sitting in bank vaults because nobody wants to carry heavy metal when they can use paper or plastic). So, the quantity of money is not the problem. Reports that corporations are hoarding $2.5 trillion in cash because they don't trust the President suggest that what we've got is a cash constipation problem.  The money isn't moving through the system. So, the system has to be irrigated. And that's what the Buffett Tax the President is about to announce is intended to do -- to administer an enema to people sitting on their unearned income and refusing to let go.

The Buffett Tax spells relief for the constipated elites.
