The December New Hampshire labor report, period ending October 2010, is not all that remarkable. Coos County is still suffering while overall the state is hanging in at 5.4%. This number is still reflective of issues with the size of the labor force versus mid 2009 numbers. We have to watch that as we head through the November and December reports into January, where holiday hiring will add to the labor force, and then most likley drop off.
What may have been the most interesting aspect of the new report however, was this paragraph from the first page.
In New Hampshire private industry GDP growth was below that of government. The current dollar change in private industry between 2008 and 2009 was almost non-existent. less than a $1 million dollar difference. When adjusted for inflation private GDP saw a 1.5% percent decrease. Government however (this is New Hampshire State Government) saw a 4.6% increase in current dollars.
This is how Democrat-controlled states feign growth.

I’m still awaiting the blistering criticism due Governor Lynch from Democrat spokesperson Harrell Kirstein, for accepting praise from the misogynist in Chief, the impeached serial sex offender and perjurer, former president William Jefferson Clinton, who came to New Hampshire to campaign for floundering democrats and the little governor that could. President Bubba, the benefactor of a countless number of Bimbo eruptions, demonstrates to us the true value that democrats place on marriage–none, and to women in general, not in the fabricated terms Kirstein would attribute to others, but in their actual context.
NH 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.
Ryan Williams (GOP Spokesperson) just pulled a Kathy Sullivan. He’s filed a complaint with the AG over an out of state Ad attacking John Stephen. The democrats of course think this is hypocritical, you know, to act just like they do. And maybe it is. Or maybe Kathy is afraid Ryan will get an overflowing complaint drawer at the AG’s office just like hers.
If New Hampshire only had one person in their workforce, and they had a job, unemployment would be at 0%. Keep that in mind as John Lynch and the democrats short-stroke the September adjusted jobs number around as a sign that they are good for the economy. They are not.
