(CNN Money) — New Hampshire is the state with the highest median income in the nation, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau report.
The median household income in New Hampshire averaged a cool $65,028 annually over the past two years.
In Mississippi, the average household earned a median of just $35,693 per year in 2008 and 2009, 45% less than New Hampshire households and the lowest income of any state. Not surprisingly, it also had the highest poverty rate, with one in five households living under the poverty line.
