From the article:
Based on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Donahue Institute at the University of Massachusetts estimates that employment in the commonwealth likely won’t grow by more than roughly 20,000 new jobs over the next seven years.

Dr. Clayton-Matthews is also a member of the MassBenchmarks Board.
