" Out of Kilter: The Growing Income Gap in NH "

New Hampshire has the 6th highest median income in the country, but the gap between rich and poor is growing faster than any other state in the nation.   Income trends vary by region, gender, family, and race; in many areas, household incomes have not kept pace with costs of basic needs such as housing. 

These trends threaten the fabric of public life.  Come for a straight forward discussion of the data and the implications for our state. 

Presenters:       

Katie Merrow, Executive. Director, New Hampshire Women's Policy Institute
Senator Maggie Hassan, Chair of Public and Municipal Affairs and Capital Budget Committees
