Massachusetts - We’re 8 9!
The US Census Bureau released its Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2006 report, yesterday.
How'd Massachusetts do?
Well, when it comes to the uninsured, pretty good. More people have health insurance in Massachusetts than in 41 other states (the survey was done prior to the Universal Health Care law went into effect, this past June).
What about income?
Bottom-line: People make a lot of money in Massachusetts. We have the seventh-highest median income in the nation (New Hampshire beats us, actually, as do Connecticut and Hawaii, New Jersey, Alaska, Minnesota(?!), ).
Regarding poverty rates?
The percentage of people in Massachusetts living in "poverty" (as the government defines it) dropped from 10.5% to 9.7%, between 2005 and 2006. We're 10. (Utah beats us by a bit ... thanks, President Romney!)
