Laconia jobless/unemployed

Another big Laconia job loss was the closing of the NH state prison in Laconia.

Nobody wants a prison near them. So what are they supposed to do? Prisons and power plants, nobody willingly invites them to their community.

That's not the case in many rural, american counties all across the United States where a prison is sometimes very welcome for all its' prison jobs. Some huge number like 2,000,000 of the US population of 305,000,000 are incarcerated in prisons, which is a very high percentage compared to other first world countries like Canada, France, Germany, Australia and Japan.

Is the United States still a first world country?

Most likely, high unemployment = higher crime rates and more people in prisons.

Except for Berlin, NH. They embrace the new federal prison.

The USA has priced itself out of the world job market..........for one reason. unions......supported by our left wing leaders, they get such bloated salaries, bennies and retirement that it is unsustainable. Federal, state and even town workers are retiring in their 50's with 80% of their highest salariy and full family health bennies for LIFE......paid for by the few of us who are left working in the private sector.
It may be too late, but the only chance we have left is to kick out anyone with a "D" in front of their name that is running for public office.

No, they don't. Most people in the Berlin/Gorham area were against it, but there was the promise of new jobs and money for the area, which is in desperate need. Embrace it? Not so much.
