To the editor:

There have been several letters supporting Jeb Bradley recently touting his ability to grow small businesses and improve the economy. Recent data (American Community Survey 2008-2012) shows Carroll County business occupation at 31.9 percent vs. N.H. at 39.3 percent. The service sector is 15.7 percent in N.H. and 23.6 percent in Carroll County. If we look at household income distribution, 49 percent of Carroll County make less than $50,000, but in NH 38.4 percent make less that $50,000. Doesn't seem to me that Carroll County's businesses or economy has grown under Jeb. Most jobs are low paying jobs in the service sector.
