The interaction of several different factors (the size of the age cohort, educational attainment, and international immigration) all come together to create the population of young professionals. If policy makers wish to increase the supply of young, educated workers in the region, they would do well to consider not only domestic migration,
but international immigration policies as well as education policies.
Massachusetts needs to rely on international immigration policies...which will turn decidedly against immigration during a massive economic downturn. On top of which, the Congress and President are sticking xenophobic "Buy American" clauses into their legislation, at the very least fueling nativist sentiment.
