….Wow. We?re graying fast. And that means longer lives, something we all hope for. In fact, Wisconsin enjoys higher life expectancies than the nation as a whole, a trend that?s expected to continue. But our rapidly aging population also will mean fewer workers per retiree to pay the state?s bills for everything from schools to health care to government services for the elderly and poor. And that makes keeping, educating and attracting young, talented, highly productive people more important than ever for Wisconsin. Our state and region need to encourage entrepreneurs, innovation and technology that lead to more high-paying jobs.
