A new report found that New Jersey has the second-highest income range for its upper middle class.
Residents in the Garden State need a household income of at least $162,235 to be considered near the top of the class, according to a study published Feb. 10 by financial technology company MoneyLion. New Jersey trails only Massachusetts, which has a minimum income of $163,066 for upper-middle-class members.
Education: As tuition rises at New Jersey public colleges and universities, one state senator wants to force them to freeze those rates for four years. Sen. Shirley Turner said her bill, which she’s introduced repeatedly without success in the past, is aimed at preventing New Jerseyans from fleeing to other, cheaper states post-high school. “We lose so many of our best and brightest students to other states and other colleges, and once they leave, they don’t come back,” she said.
