We've made our state more and more competitive. And it shows. Money Magazine cited Providence as the best place to live in the East. And just think. We have more people calling Rhode Island home than ever before.
Unemployment remains below the national average.
A greater number of our residents are working, and they're bringing home bigger paychecks. In fact, according to the United States Census Bureau, we had the largest increase in median household income in the entire country. And we're being nationally recognized for enhancing our business climate. Without question, we've brought the new economy to Rhode Island. We know that.
