CONCORD, NH: Governor John Lynch, July 12, issued the following statement regarding the drop in the state’s unemployment rate:

 

"Getting people back to work has been my top priority, and this drop in the unemployment rate is very good news for New Hampshire. It’s consistent with the sense of increased optimism I’m hearing from business leaders across the state, and the reports of independent analysts who say New Hampshire’s economy is leading the region as we emerge from this national recession.

 

"Despite the good news, we must also remember that many men and women are still looking for employment, and I remain committed to working toward the goal that every person who wants a job is able to find one."
