Immigrants and Boomers

In his book, Immigrants and Boomers, author and noted demographer Dowell MyersDescribes how each of these two powerful demographic influencers may hold the keys to resolving the problems presented by the other.

Myers argues that during the demographic transition, the new prospect of diminished skills in the future workforce and a reduced middle class could undermine the continued growth in home prices.

Retirees will transition from being net taxpayers to net recipients of health and pension benefits, and they will be supported by a smaller workforce that is struggling to meet its own needs.

Seniors are also net home sellers and Myers believes there will be 67% more people in the selling age relative to the younger adults who are likely to be buyers.

Myers and other demographers believe that immigration can help to supply some of the workers needed to support the rising number of seniors and to replace them in the labor force as they retire and can help compensate for the smaller number of younger adults who are likely to buy homes from the increasing number of older Americans.

New arrivals alone can offset about one-quarter of the increase in the senior ratio.

The Difference……….

What is the difference between a Thermometer & a Thermostat?

Page 22: 2010 HAR REALTOR® Expo- Oscar Gonzales

The Difference……….

•The thermometer reveals that something is broken.

•It’s your “canary in the coal mine”

•Organizations are filled with human thermometers that like to criticize or point out or whine.

Page 23: 2010 HAR REALTOR® Expo- Oscar Gonzales

The Difference……….

•The thermostat manages to change the environment in sync with the outside world.

•Every organizations needs at least one human thermostat to monitor the environment and create/affect change.
