New Hampshire Economic Outlook May 2012


Executive Summary | Full Report (PDF)

Brief Description

The state’s unemployment rate stood at 5 percent in April 2012, well below the 8.1 national rate

But job growth in the recovery remains slow.  New Hampshire had 650,000 nonfarm jobs in 2008, as the recession began taking hold, and the state will not see that many jobs again until the second quarter of 2014.
