Ok, now that the numbers for April have been in for a couple weeks, lets take a look-see at the Belknap County jobs numbers. Looking at http://www.nh.gov/nhes/elmi/lausbrief.htm, it says that the rate of unemployment has gone down from 8.7% to 7.2%, but at the same time the number of people working has only increased by ten, having the labor force going from 32150 in March to 31620 in April. So, the Belknap labor force decreased by 530.

Did anyone see 530 people leave Belknap County? Where did they go? How's this all translate?
