“We continue to see a steady drop in the unemployment rate here in New Hampshire, which is good news for our people, our businesses and our economy in general.
The impact of the national recession was felt by many New Hampshire families and businesses. That is why we must continue our successful economic strategy …”

Forcing people to pay to have or keep a job creates a bar to employment; it will not decrease unemployment, nor is it freedom. (Note: New Hampshire was free from compulsory unionism for over 150 years.)
