“Ever since the global financial crisis, economists have groped for reasons to explain why growth in the U.S. and abroad has repeatedly disappointed, citing everything from fiscal austerity to the euro meltdown. They are now
coming to realize that one of the stiffest headwinds is also one of the hardest to overcome: demographics.”

The Corporate Site Selection Process
1. Evaluate regions and identify a short list
2. Select the desired region
3. Choose the desired site within the selected region
Location requirements vary by sector
Location requirements have changed considerably over time

So, what have we learned?• Labor shortages are coming (age composition): Baby Boomers are exiting the workforce;
there are barely enough 25-44 year olds to replace 45-64 year olds
• Talent attraction and retention (net migration): Regions with disadvantageous age dynamics can overcome potential future labor shortages through positive levels of net in-migration
• Talent development: Higher education and training institutions are only advantages (in terms of labor supply) to the degree to which a community or region can retain their graduates
• Millennial preferences: Exhibiting stronger preferences for urban environments in medium to large metropolitan areas; place matters!
• Businesses are responding to these trends: Site location criteria is changing; businesses are following people, not vice versa

In summary, where does Massachusetts stand today?• Disadvantageous but not insurmountable age dynamics
• Historical out-migration but some evidence of a reversal
As a share of the United States:• Jobs: 2.5%
• Job openings: 2.3%
• Degree completions: 2.8%
• 25-44 year olds: 2.1%
• Net International Migration: 3.8%

The big question: Do we have what it takes to compete for talent –both attracting and retaining – in today’s competitive climate?
• Job opportunities
• Transportation options
• Amenities
• Inclusion
• Affordability?

So what are we left with?
• A battle for Millennial talent: communities and economic regions are facing talent shortages, some more so than others.
• This battle for talent will dictate our future economic geography.
• Millennials that demand more urban, mixed-use environments with access to a variety of attributes.
• Millennials that demand and need affordable housing opportunities – rental and ownership.
• Those that are able to provide the best combination of attributes, access, and affordability that Millennials demand will win.

• Educate partners and stakeholders about the problem.
• Bring employers to the table. Put the housing argument in terms that they understand and to which they relate.• The social argument: limited appeal
• BANANAs, NIMBYs, CAVEmen, political views, etc.
• The economic argument: broader appeal
• Addressing fiscal impact and misinformation:• Detractors: “Multi-family development doesn't pay its way…”
Implications for All
