Connecticut is the wealthiest state per capita in the country - and one of the most premium courier markets in this entire series. Hartford is the Insurance Capital of the World. Greenwich has the highest concentration of hedge funds outside Manhattan. Pratt & Whitney builds jet engines in East Hartford. Sikorsky builds Black Hawk helicopters in Stratford. And the state's proximity to New York City makes Fairfield County one of the highest-pricing courier markets in the country.
