But jobs in higher-paying sectors are increasing, state reports
February 26, 2021
There was an increase in new unemployment claims in the Granite State during the week ending Feb. 20, but continuing claims continued their slow decline at the state and federal levels. And, while the hospitality industry continues to suffer in New Hampshire, other industries – many with higher-paying jobs – are hiring.
The U.S. Department of Labor reported Thursday that there were 2,408 initial jobless claims in New Hampshire for the week ending Feb. 20, a 7.5% rise over the number reported in the previous week.
In any case, claims still are four times the number they were before the pandemic began.

(The Center Square) – Gov. J.B. Pritzker delivered his virtual State of the State and budget address on Wednesday.
The full text of the governor s speech is here:
Good afternoon to the esteemed lawmakers who are joining us remotely, and to all the people of Illinois, who have endured so much this past year. Joining me today are two people essential to my work as governor: the incomparable lieutenant governor, Juliana Stratton, and my remarkable wife, First Lady MK Pritzker.
As you’ve probably noticed, this State of the State speech looks a lot different than it has in the past. Standing inside a crowded room to deliver a formal address is not possible right now – nor would it be appropriate. But the people of Illinois need to hear from their Governor about where we are and where we’re headed – regardless of how unprecedented the times.
