Massachusetts is one of the best states in which to live in the U.S. The small but heavily populated New England state is famous for its stunning and varying landscapes from beaches to mountains, its rich history, world-renowned colleges, and some pretty spectacular sports teams.

In addition to all its offerings, Massachusetts is also a great place to live based on its quality of life. Massachusetts is home to some of the best public education in the country and has one of the highest median incomes and one of the highest GDP per capita in the nation. Several media outlets, including wisevoter.com, rank Massachusetts as the second wealthiest state in the country, behind only New York state

Massachusetts residents might hold an annual median income of just under $89,026, according to census.gov, but there are plenty of Bay State residents who take home far more than that.

According to Neilsberg research, the median annual salary for a full-time, year-round female worker in Massachusetts is approximately $72,929. The median annual salary for a full-time, year-round male worker in Massachusetts is $88,104, which is a gap of approximately $16,000.
