For 7.25/hr, I stay very focused and give each individual leaf my total attention!

Minimum wage comparison/hour: New Hampshire-7.25, Maine-9.00, Rhode Island-9.60, Vermont-10.00 (10.50 after January 1, 2018), Connecticut-10.10, Massachusetts-11.00, New York: 9.70-11.00 (proximity to NYC)

At 7.25/hr, New Hampshire loses the low minimum wage comparision by a lot, NH employees get the lowest pay rate and NH earns the lowest payer booby prize for the six New England states plus New York ..... live NH-poor or die! ..... put that on your NH license plate? Is NH's low minimum wage at all related to NH's opioid epidemic ...... let us see ... good jobs at good wages-yes! ....... and, bad jobs at low wages drive you to drugs ...... hmmm, what do you think? Anyone here work for a NH ski area?

The Opiod epidemic has no wage constraints. It affects rich and poor, good people and bad people. They should tax the crap out of these drug companies that push these drugs on everyone for the sole purpose of making tons of money.
