Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center: The Evidence on Millionaire Migration and Taxes

Economists consistently find that a well-educated workforce and a high-quality transportation system are among the bedrock elements upon which a prosperous state economy is built. Providing everyone with access to the education and training they need to reach their full potential boosts the productivity of individual workers and strengthens the overall economy. A well-functioning transportation system likewise strengthens the economy, allowing goods and people to move quickly and reliably to the places they need to be. (For a more detailed discussion of the impacts of state investments in education and transportation, see MassBudget’s report on these issues.)
