Bingo. Worcester needs to figure out how to attract high paying jobs to it rather than watching all the jobs end up in Boston.

Arguably, the state should help with this through incentives but it doesn't.

Agreed. I’ve been looking for a job in worcester for 5 years, and the only way I can one is if I take a huge pay cut.

We're going to need a truly working airport for that. It's been great to see ORH coming back to life, but will need far more flight selection and amenities there in order to bring business people quickly in and out of town.
