What would make New Hampshire more attractive to young professionals?
Child care and housing. New Hampshire offers many things for young professionals: ample career opportunities, outdoor recreation, and high-quality education, to name a few. There isn’t much that can’t be done either within the state or a short drive. Expanding access to child care and housing will allow young professionals to enjoy all that our great state has to offer.
