Lynch-Marched To Who Knows Where

Lynch Destroyed Jobs, Scared off workersNH Employment Services has released its October report for the most recent New Hampshire jobs data and it’s not good for John Lynch.  The state continues to lose its human capital.  The granite state shed another 360 workers in August to parts unknown as the post ‘end of the recession’ exodus of our civilian workforce rose to 16,550.  So from July 2009 to Aug 2010, 16,550 people gave up looking for work in John Lynch’s New Hampshire, ‘Lynch-Marched’ right out of our local job market. That doesn’t happen in a healthy pro job-growth environment.  If John Lynch and the democrats were really doing their political ‘best’ the Civilian work force would be rising as people felt compelled to come here to look for work because more business and industry though of New Hampshire as a business friendly environment.  But it’s not.  It’s hostile.

So the declining unemployment number is actually a bad thing.  It is being driven down by a declining workforce not increased employment.  And if John Lynch can scare of a few thousand more workers away we’ll be under 4% in no time.  Look what I did.  No real job growth.  No job creation.  Just a smaller number to measure employment against!

John Lynch and Deval Patrick must be related. He’s losing workforce as well.

So how do you promote a business friendly environment when you’ve scared away almost 17,000 people from your workforce?  I know, don’t report it.  We’ll just point to the declining unemployment rate, discuss the sectors that added jobs, and ignore the aggregate decline that is indicative of a business climate that is not attracting people to work and perhaps live in New Hampshire

And maybe that’s the point?   People actually holding jobs, the number of people reported by NHES as employed, has decreased by 10,730 since July of 2009.   So with almost 11,000.00 fewer people reported as working her in the past 13 months, how can ShaHodeSheaPorter convince anyone the stimulus was good for New Hampshire, and can we agree that they all share something in common with Lynch that is not good for the Granite State?  They are all liberal democrats.
