Post COVID, the #1 challenge for the majority of companies here is trying to hire staff. Healthcare, hospitality, education, etc = lots of jobs.

NH has a low unemployment rate but I know a lot of young people who are underemployed which I think is what people are saying when they say no employment opportunities. A lot of southern NH is commuter towns for MA and that’s where the big money comes from. Living and working only in NH would severely limit your earning potential and ability to keep up with the cost of living. Someone in this thread said there’s great jobs paying over $20/hour but let’s be real $20/hour doesn’t get you far in NH. You can’t rent an apartment or save money on that wage. A lot of people like to equate help wanted signs with opportunity when most of the help wanted is for menial jobs that would leave you broke. There are jobs but not many that can pay you a livable wage and/or have growth opportunity.
