Hello again...click on the link in post #2 to go to the NH Dept Employment Security and their just released and updated Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) for February which was released today, March 30, 2010.

Statewide, the seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate for February remained the same as January at 7.7%.

In Belknap County, the number of unemployed for February went up from 3000 to 3030 individual people, which translates to an increase from 9.4% to 9.5% unemployment. Belknap County continues to have the second worst rate of all ten counties, statewide, and now following very closely behind Coos County, way up north.

Way up north, Coos County actually improved a little bit, with the number of unemployed going down from 1590 to 1570 individual people, or from 9.8% to 9.7%.

So, Belknap County is now a very close second to Coos County at least for the month of February and the latest numbers! Hopefully, the warmer weather ahead will signifigantly impact these terrible February results.

How did this happen? What the heck is going on here?

Hello J-O-B's....where R U?

Got to wonder what's the unemployment rate in a chinese county about 300 miles outside of Beijing, China?

Heard the latest....a chinese car company named Geely just bought Volvo cars of Sweden from the Ford Motor Co of Detroit, which is pretty amazing, considering that the Chinese people cannot easily even pronounce the name Volvo and guess where's the biggest market by far for Volvo cars......in the United States.
