Robert Gavin's article in this morning's Globe highlights the findings of a recent analysis conducted by the regional office of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and offers yet another example of how the relatively faster recovery here in Massachusetts is being driven by our innovation economy and highly educated workers.

Money quote:
"Ultimately, it’s the “genius of the people’’ that drives the tech sector and the state’s knowledge-based economy, said Eric Nakajima, senior innovation adviser in the state Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development."
