hi5 fellow massholeMassachusets where I live minimum wage is $11.00. I have friends in the next state over New Hampshire the minimum wage is $7.25. So I have a set of friends who work the same exact fast food or retail job make about $3.75 an hour more than the friends that live 20 minutes closer to the stateline. Location does seem to make a difference in some cases. My NH friends all want to move to Massachusetts. lol.
