MPBN, BDN Cite Maine Development Foundation, UMaine Report on Personal Income

The Maine Public Broadcasting Network and Bangor Daily News cited a report released by the Maine Development Foundation and the University of Maine’s School of Economics and Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center analyzing the relatively low per capita personal income in Maine. Ann Acheson, a research associate at the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center, found Maine’s per capita personal income was $38,299 in 2011, which was up from 2010, but still placed Maine 29th among the states.
