I don’t think we have to worry about the left or the media announcing how Mr. Trump is good for the everyday working man. And not just because they’d never dare call them “working man.” But, as it turns out, Trump’s policies are better for everyday joe and jane sixpack.

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
New Hampshire’s Economy Is Booming – Democrat Want to Take It All Away
Last month, Drew Cline, writing at the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, provided some numbers that reinforce arguments I’ve been making on these pages for years. That if the government just stays out of the way jobs and wages will take care of themselves. As of July, the average hourly wage for private employment … Read more

The numbers: American workers are finally reaping the benefits of the lowest unemployment rate and best jobs market in decades: Wages and benefits are rising at the fastest pace in a decade.

McDonald’s Drops the Hammer – Ordering Kiosks in Every Store by 2020
Spurned by meddling Democrats crying for government intervention in the value of an hour of labor McDonald’s began testing Kiosks in Europe. That expanded to here and there and over there.
But the time has come. No more fiddling around the edges. The trial period has ended. McD’s is putting self-serv kiosks in every restaurant on the planet within two years so kiss all those entry-level jobs goodbye.
While NH Democrats Fight for 15 D.C. Dems Vote To Dump It for Tipped Workers
New Hampshire Gubernatorial candidates Steve Marchand and Molly Kelly are both dedicated Democrats with designs on using government to limit your potential for prosperity. They both support a New Hampshire minimum wage of $15.00/hour; which we know will result in job losses and less monthly income for the very people they claim to want to help.
Nothing new about that. But this is new.
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.
Democrats: Are You Paying Your Campaign Workers a ‘Living Wage?’
Torn from the headlines at HotAir.com, a question of epic and historical weight. Why won’t Democrats let their campaign workers unionize?
When workers on one self-proclaimed progressive’s congressional campaign decided to unionize, they ran into “classic union busting” tactics, according [to] a former staffer, who asked that he and the campaign remain anonymous for fear of jeopardizing future job prospects.
Ed Morrissey adds,
GrokTALK! – Wages, Death, Energy, & Fungus
We talk about how Seattle small business owners “feel” about that $15/hr minimum wage the progressives had to have, where not to go in New Hampshire if you want the base to vote for you, then its on to death taxes followed by a few minutes on electricity and energy.
The Minimum Wage From Yet Another View
The notion that New Hampshire needs to set a minimum wage higher than the current and equally arbitrary federal rate is as flawed a notion as the faux-benefit of a federal minimum wage in the first place. But New Hampshire Democrats and some Democrats elected as Republicans, continue to make a case for it.
But allowing the government to define an arbitrary price point for labor is absurd and anyone who has ever had a job already knows why.
What Changed For State Workers In Wisconsin?
If we ignore the change in national perception based on weeks of evidence that public union employees (and democrats) are selfish, angry, violent, children what actually changed when the Wisconsin legislature and Governor Walker succeeded in passing changes to collective bargaining?
Blind Spot
The saving of New Hampshire Taxpayer dollars has already begun. Peter Bragdon announced that his State Senate chief of staff will not be earning the $100,000.00 his predecessor is said to have received.
No 3% Solution In Hillsborough
When it becomes evident that they have exceeded our mandate or entered into agreements which have or will become fiscally untenable, the officials charged with representing the taxpayers interest must endeavor to introduce savings and efficiencies that limit the fiscal impact of those tasks before they overcome the ability of reasonable men and women to sustain them.
