Probably, in part, because with NH at $7.25, it's what potential employees assume they will get paid. Because MA pays $13.50, they assume that's what they will get paid. Those potential employees are kids that might otherwise summer in NH but stay home for a much higher wage, and college students that travel to wherever they assume they can get the best wage. And that isn't in NH.

It's probably a bidding war no matter what summer resort area you go to. It's just that in MA (or any other surrounding state), it starts at a higher price point.
