Interesting to read about which states have the highest median salary, lowest unemployment, etc.
I was shocked to see that Maryland came out on top. I would of expected New York, Virginia or Massachusetts to come out on top as the richest state. For the Poorest state I am not surprised that it is Mississippi. Mississippi has been known as one of the poorest states for a while now. The south seems to not be having the best of luck. the bottom 5 poorest states are all in the south. Check out the graph below.
