The excellent employment news continues for Granite Staters. Yesterday’s update from the New Hampshire Office of Employment Security (NHES) reports 741,480 held jobs last month an increase of 1,430.
Just a few months ago we reported record-breaking employment numbers, but that was no fluke. Tax cuts for job creators continue to generate incomes for individuals and working families.
NH economy goes BOOM! – again – in latest Jobs Report. State adds 1,430 more residents working, workforce grows by 1,160. Another month of record-breaking gains after tax relief took effect 1/1/2018. Big win for @GovChrisSununu. https://t.co/c7kRbQNxkj #nhpolitics #nhgov

Democrats at the state level promised these cuts would leave us with a hole in the budget. A big one. Wrong again.
Revenues have been over budget or above plan ever since the cuts began to take effect.
And a lot more jobs in a state with a high average rate of pay.
NHES also shared some national numbers.
Nationally, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for September 2018 was 3.7 percent, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from the August rate, and a decrease of 0.5 percentage points from the September 2017 rate. The national unadjusted rate for September 2018 was 3.6 percent, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points from the August rate, and a decrease of 0.5 percentage points from the September 2017 rate.
The economy is cruising along as the long-awaited recovery summer slides into recovery fall.
The question that remains; will voters come out in the numbers needed this November to protect the elected officials who made it possible or will they hit the snooze button and let Democrats take it all away?
