October Bankruptcies Up

Personal and business bankruptcies continue to climb. October saw a total of 466. The New Hampshire Business Review has been doing a good job of tracking this. NHBR's Bob Sanders writes that 14 businesses filed, including Spaulding Hill Development and Hawkview Estates, both of Nashua.

Sanders has been doing the math. He writes that the running total is 4,324, 34 percent more than the number of bankruptcies filed by this time last year.
