Has the Recovery Act done anything for New Hampshire? No.

Has “Recovery Summer” done anything for New Hampshire? No.

For a state that gave all of its electoral votes to Obama in 2008, one should have expected much more for such a small state. Through our coverage on the effects of Stimulus and Recovery Summer on the states, we have determined that no matter the size of a state’s population, all economies have been negatively effected. While New Hampshire has a relatively low unemployment rate, the state has still seen negative impacts. The labor force is shrinking and the number of employed people continues to dwindle as well. All the while, the unemployment rate increases and the Big Government Congress in Washington D.C. is tone deaf on how to respond to this catastrophe.
