Default Making a livin'

Making a living in NH is not as difficult as many perceive -- at least it is much easier than 10, 15, 20 years ago by far.

I commute an hour to Manchester and gladly do so as I can return each evening to Gilford. Portsmouth is an hour. Nashua and Salem are 90 minutes on a good day. And I know someone in Gilford that leaves for work at 3:45 am and heads to Boston every day, returning home by 4:30 pm. Someone else I know heads to Salem from Gilford. You just need to spend time researching.

But if you are used to "big city" wages and need to continue that same income amount, you should probably stay where you are...at least for most positions. If someone is truly looking for something in the area, your best bet is to find a local recruiter/headhunter that specializes in your area of expertise.
