NH does not have a lot of businesses beyond small businesses that do not offer any real income or opportunity. Sure there are the trade businesses, but that is not always where people want to go or end up starting their own business. Looking for a new job myself and there is little offered where people can move around a company and get better wages.

IMHO, jobs are male oriented if you want to make a decent living. Either that or you better have a masters/PhD specific career that has jobs here.

However, there is a doubled edge sword with better jobs comes more people.
