Connecticut

Connecticut is a small but wealthy New England state anchored by the insurance industry in Hartford, finance and hedge funds in Fairwest County near New York City, and a long tradition of manufacturing and higher education. It has one of the highest per-capita incomes in the country alongside stark inequality between its wealthy suburbs and struggling former industrial cities.
