Some Good News on the Employment Frontby: Jennifer DalerTue May 18, 2010 at 06:53:33 AM EDT |
The Nashua Telegraph reports today that the unemployment rate in New Hampshire fell for the second straight month, moving from 7% to 6.7%.
This was New Hampshire's second largest month-to-month improvement since the recession officially ended in July 2009. The state added 1,360 jobs in April, bringing the total number of employed to 696,980. The national trend is still slightly down; our Democratic majorities in the State House, State Senate, and Governor Lynch are showing the strength of leadership in these uncertain times. The alternative to that leadership is more of teh crazy that's about posturing, not solutions. |
