The NH legislature crafted a scheme to force power companies to buy energy from biomass plants. To “save jobs.” But Biomass plants are closing. Jobs lost. Why? Busy-body legislators.

Despite Dems NH Sets Another Employment Record as More People Find Work
The Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) just released a report on employment. By their calculation, 71% of new jobs filled are people who were not counted as in the workforce. Folks who were not looking or had given up seeking a job. In New Hampshire, that means another new employment record. We’ve been setting records for … Read more
House Democrats Vote for Fewer Jobs in New Hampshire
The laboratories of the States (and some cities) have proven time and again that politicians are a threat to the job market. Mandatory minimum wages never create more jobs. They result in higher unemployment, fewer hours, higher prices, and less opportunity. Local Democrats have decided they want that for New Hampshire.
How Ocasio-Cortez Would ‘Spend’ Amazon’s Tax Cut Now That They Aren’t Getting It
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the new “leader” of the Democrat party, has a plan. It involves that 3 billion in Tax cuts New York City promised Amazon. The problem with this plan is exposed succinctly by Don Trump Jr. “Will someone please explain to me how it is possible for NYC to SPEND a $3 Billion tax break on anything?”
Protect New Hampshire’s Booming Economy – Vote Republican on Tue. Nov. 6th
In case you forgot to share this great news with friends and neighbors. As of July, the average hourly wage for private employment in New Hampshire was $26.22, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. New Hampshire’s real per capita personal income is up more than $4,000 since … Read more
Wage Growth Highest Since 2009 – Consumer Confidence Soars to Highest in 18 Years
If Democrats were hoping for a pre-election push from today’s job numbers they got it, but in the wrong direction. Hiring accelerated in October and the unemployment rate held at a 49-year low, signs of a strengthening labor market that delivered U.S. workers the best pay raises in nearly a decade. U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased … Read more
Jobless Claims at Historic Low – Democrats Promise to Ruin That If You Elect Them
I guess funemployment wasn’t as much fun as we were told. People have been abandoning it in droves. We also need to question Nancy Pelosi’s “Pelosi-ism” about unemployment being so damn good for the economy. Current trends suggest otherwise. And how about when in the midst of the so-called ‘Obama Recovery’ Democrats were demanding a hike in unemployment benefits? In … Read more
New Hampshire Hits New High for Jobs Created
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 … Read more
All You Need to Know about the November Election in One Photo
Found on social media, this one photo explains everything you need to know about the election using only two words.
Why Do NH Democrats Want to Kill Job Growth and the Economy?
I so enjoyed writing this post that it needed a video to go with it. New Hampshire is experiencing some significant benefit from Republican tax and economic policy. Democrats are promising to take those benefits away. Please do what you can to educate them about the consequences of allowing that to happen and what they need … Read more
Remember the “Summer of Recovery?” Trump Finally Delivered
Remember the ‘Summer of Recovery?’ It became an annual “festival” celebrated by the media, and the left each and every season after the elevation of his majestic almighty greatness Obama I. Every summer henceforth shall be named recovery summer. We should have coined a catchy mysterious tagline like “Summer is coming.” But recovery summer never came.
Then we elected Donald Trump, and it finally arrived and in record fashion.
Another Unemployment Number Hits an Historic Low
Mr. Trump’s economy continues to make history. Black unemployment hit a historic low in May. Hispanic unemployment hit a historic low in June. Now, the Bureau of labor statistics says that Youth summer-unemployment hit a 52-year low in July, 2018.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday that the unemployment rate for 16 to 24 year olds had dropped to 9.2% in July, from 9.6% in July of 2018. That marks the lowest summer youth unemployment rate since 1966.
The Hate-Trump media is leaning heavily on one caveat, but in my opinion, that’s not going to work in their Trump-hating favor.
First Black Unemployment, and Now Hispanic Unemployment Hits a Record Low
Employment for ‘people of color’ continues to set records under President Trump. Back in April 2018, we reported on record-low 5.9% unemployment for black Americans. That’s the lowest its ever been. Ever.
In June 2018, Hispanic-Latino unemployment (ages 16 and up) reached an all-time low of 4.6 percent. The lowest since records were kept. And this isn’t just a one-month thing.
The Marchand & Molly Show Got Nothing to Say About Record NH Employment
Last month we reported on New Hampshire breaking new ground on both employment and labor participation in May. June was even better.
Seasonally adjusted estimates for June 2018 placed the number of employed residents at 735,730, an increase of 2,540 from the previous month and an increase of 9,020 from June 2017.
I can’t seem to find any comment from Democrat Gubernatorial candidates Steve Marchand or Molly Kelly about this continued climb into record employment and robust labor force participation absent their apothecary’s inventory of socialist curatives.
NH Democrat All Gurl Delegation Silent on Record Low Black Unemployment
As reported June 1st, the nation reached a milestone. Black unemployment has hit a record low. Racial disparity in unemployment is also at a historical low. That’s kind of crazy if we really are all a bunch of racists. But even if we were, which we are not, you’d expect that so-called party of People of Color would be screaming it from their solar panel covered rooftops.
Not one member of New Hampshire’s All Gurl Democrat Delegation has written a single word about it since it was announced eight days ago.
New Hampshire Economy Sets Records for Employment and Labor Force Participation
Last week some Democrat stooge was on the radio badmouthing Governor Sununu on the economy and workers and families and wages (insert dancing donkey in a top hat), but she did it without actually saying anything. It was all empty rhetoric. Palm card pablum.
Yes, I have plenty of issues with Chris Sununu’s “priorities.” I have problems with State Republican Leadership’s priorities. But for all the goofy things they focused on this past Session they managed to not get in the way of the State’s economy.
An economy that has entered record-setting territory.
New York Times “Runs Out Of Words” to Describe May Jobs Numbers
I couldn’t tell you if the cable networks or the alphabets are in on this but The New York Times offered up a glowing report of May’s job’s numbers the same day I wrote this. So here’s the credit where it is due.
The real question in analyzing the May jobs numbers released Friday is whether there are enough synonyms for “good” in an online thesaurus to describe them adequately.
Bet You Didn’t Know – Black Unemployment Hit a Record Low In May
Last Month, in April of 2018, the unemployment rate for black Americans hit a record low. You probably didn’t know that for the same reason you didn’t know this.
Black unemployment fell precipitously to 5.9 percent after a record-setting low of 6.6 percent the previous month, while unemployment for white workers dropped from 3.6 to 3.5 percent.
Overall unemployment, according to the Department of labor, dropped to 3.8%, the lowest it’s been since Y2K.
Let Them Eat Crumbs!
CNBC is reporting that jobless claims have hit a 48-year low (which for the math challenged includes the years when Obama was President).
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits were unchanged at a seasonally adjusted 211,000 for the week ended May 5, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Claims dropped to 209,000 during the week ended April 21, which was the lowest level since December 1969.
There are more jobs than skilled labor, by many estimates. Hey, maybe some of those able-bodied folks on Medicaid Expansion will look for work before January 2019 when the NH Waiver makes it mandatory?
Smacking RGGI Around
David Stevenson, writing at NH Journal, shares a recent report by The Analysis Group which
“…just released their review of the effects of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), and they give it an A+.”
If you’re not the guessing sort, there are a lot of issues with the report, which is not surprising because (as Stevenson points out) the Analysis Group is a paid consultant of RGGI.
