Massachusetts tech company moving to NH, bringing 500 jobs to Salem

A major health care and security technology company that’s been headquartered in Peabody, Mass., for almost 50 years is pulling up stakes and moving to Salem, N.H., bringing with it 500 jobs. Analogic Corp. is moving to 9 Northeastern Boulevard in Salem, needing more room for its research and manufacturing operations.

A six-figure middle class

To be considered middle class in 2019, a household in New Hampshire needed a minimum annual income of $83,151. By 2023, that jumped to $108,470, according to new data from ConsumerAffairs, a journal of consumer research. That latest bit of data gives New Hampshire the distinction of having the second highest middle-class threshold rank in the United States, trailing only its neighbor Massachusetts.
