S. Census data U. S. Census figures released in December show that the 2000 s saw the slowest rate of population growth in New Hampshire in six decades. Later this year, the Census Bureau will release specific population figures for counties and communities. What will those numbers tell us about the state’s demographic patterns over the past decade? And what will they mean for the redrawing of electoral districts in the New Hampshire Legislature later this year? 11

Long Term Public Policy Questions (part 1) • What set of policies ensure the ongoing development of human capital upon which NH’s economy has been built? – We have been reliant on migration for higher education? Both the population moving into the state and foreign born population have a larger proportion of college graduates. – We can’t continue to depend on migrants for such a significant portion of our highly educated labor force – Relative cost of living – Quality of Life • Infrastructure – Water – Waste Water – Roads Bridges 14 – IT Infrastructure
Long Term Public Policy Questions (part 2) • Aging – Whatever it is, we are going to have to manage it as it’s going to change our labor markets, what people buy, what they are interested in. • Human Capital Development – How do we take advantage of the human capital within the baby boomer generation? – University system? – Education system for the 30 somethings • Mitigating Competitive Disadvantages – Energy Costs – Healthcare Costs 15
