New Hampshire’s state motto is “Live Free or Die,” which is pretty hardcore for a state that only has 1.3 million residents. Still, the people of New Hampshire enjoy a rich historical past and a booming economy based on lots of outdoor recreation, healthcare, real estate, transportation, and financial services. The median household income for New Hampshire is $73,381, putting it in 8th place.
Major employers within the state include Fidelity Investments, BAE Systems North America, Liberty Mutual, Dartmouth College, Capital Regional Health Care, and Elliot Hospital. It’s clear that there is a heavy focus on banking, financial services, healthcare, and engineering.
Despite embracing high-tech industry and the sciences, New Hampshire is still a place to experience all of nature’s delights.
