MassINC Roundtable Discussion

I attended the roundtable discussion this morning on MassINC's survey of boomers, "A Generation in Transition." I highly recommend that you take a look at some of the demographic findings, even if you only have time to read the executive summary. It is available online if you register http://www.massinc.org/index.php?id=453

Some points that I found interesting:
  • 30% of the population of Mass. is in the boomer generation (defined as born between 1946-1964).
  • 84% of them have lived in Mass. 20 years or more.
  • 35% of them want to retire outside of Mass., creating a huge economic impact on the state.
