Is it possible to launch a startup if you don't live in a big city? To be more specific, I'm thinking of starting a tech startup in Nashua, about 90k people. Would I be able to find employees easily?

depends on the startup. anythings possible but its more likely that you'd have to move somewhere big to be really successful.

What reasons would one have to move a business somewhere bigger besides a larger labor pool? It seems like it would raise costs a lot.

major businesses aren't centered in major cities simply because of labor, many of those travel / move for the job any way.
its becuase of the clients. even when you have clients on a national / international level you can bet your ass you get more business being able to meet in person in los angeles, san fran and new york.

What if you live your business is located close to a major city? In the example OP gave, the city is about an hour from Boston. Is that close enough or does a business need to actually be in a city?

again, anything possible, but it depends on the business. there is a reason omst successful ones end up in san fran, new york, and LA

You're going to have a very hard time doing it. I work in tech in a city of over 500,000 people for a very high profile company, and we can't find tech oriented people to fill our roles. We struggle to find marginally qualified people and train them up.
You're going to be in much bigger shit in a smaller town like that unless you get lucky.
