“In New Hampshire, 99 percent of employers are small businesses, and they hire nearly 50 percent of our state’s workforce. As we approach the holiday season, I encourage all Granite Staters to join me in supporting our small businesses by shopping small and local. From the Seacoast to the Lakes Region, up to the North Country, over to Western New Hampshire and back down to the Southern Tier, our state is brimming with incredible local businesses who all could use our support this holiday season.”
