The State knows exactly how many checks it writes to the unemployed.
Belknap County in May listed 430 unemployed.
By the middle of June, the State of NH has switched from enhanced unemployment to an incentive.
We are no longer even looking for the correct skill sets to achieve productivity, just warm bodies.
