NH Economic Conditions

[Vote Tyler Stearns]

NH's Economic and Labor Market Information Bureau's December stats indicate that when it comes to employment, Manchester has the most jobs in private industry.  However, Nashua is now tops in manufacturing and retail jobs in the state.  Merrimack is the leader in finance and insurance jobs.  Manufacturing paid the most total wages among NH industry sectors in 2005.
So, the top NH cities/towns for employment are (in order from #1 downward):
Manchester
Nashua
Concord
Portsmouth
Salem
Keene
Lebanon
Merrimack
Dover
Bedford
Londonderry
Hudson
Rochester
Laconia
Hanover

I would have though Concord and Nashua would have been farther on down the list.  Are those actual numbers or percentages?

Those are actual numbers -- taken from a mailing to our company from the NH Dept. of Employment Security.  Thought FSP movers might be interested in knowing where the jobs are.  I have more particulars if anyone's interested.

So, the top NH cities/towns for employment are (in order from #1 downward):
Manchester

I'll look forward to seeing many of you in Manchvegas.

That list makes sense ... it basically follows population. A % one would be more interesting.

At the company I used to work for .... we always threw those surveys out .... so I guess we were not counted. Maybe after a while we could have The Shire disappear from these sorts of government stats .

Thanks.  I kinda figured the numbers were actual numbers rather than percentages.  I would be far more interested in percentages of employment in private vs. public.
