‘Corporate restructuring’. That phrase sounds both formal and ambiguous, it could mean anything.
It’s like saying “A functional adjustment for improvement.”

I’ve always thought of any “industry” as something the makes or creates things of value. So I’ve never considered media to be an industry.

If useful and truthful Information is of value, then yes, media is an industry. Whether it provides that value that we seek today is another story.

Actually, EVERYONE is hiring here in southern NH.

A diner closed abruptly in Milford, NH. Multiple other restaurants in the area offered to hire all the employees.
One even offered $300 signing bonuses.

There is the Walmart warehouse for all of NE in Raymond, NH offering $20/hr.
Target is offering $14.50/hr.

Two Mexican restaurants took an extra 1-2 months to open because they could not hire enough staff.

NH unemployment rate is about 2.3 %

That is awesome.

Is that the lowest it’s been in decades??

It is probably the lowest since the late 1980’s. So, yes it is the lowest in decades.

NH typically has lower unemployment rates than the national average. We are not really tied to any one economic sector anymore. I think the biggest employer in the state is Dartmouth/Hitchcock medical center (7500). The next largest is the University of NH system. The rest of the top ten are wholesale groceries, a defense contractor, financial service, light manufacturing, hotel management, and WALMART.

The Walmart distribution facility in Raymond, NH is 25 acres under one roof. It is the largest building in the northeast. Google it.

We are basically at 100% employment.

Ok, sounds logical.

Whether it provides that value that we seek today is another story.

I think you know the answer to that. In fact, looking back, when in our lifetimes has it done so?
