Here’s the newly updated for 2017 roadmap for the 500,000-plus college students in Massachusetts looking for a foothold in the Boston area economy. These students work hard through school and often land internships to make connections with the “real world.” But few of them understand the full scope of the opportunities around them as Boston emerges as one of the world’s great economies. If you’re one of those students, or out of school and looking for new options, or even looking to understand the nuances of the local business scene, The Boston Economy is for you. For bulk orders (over 5) go to www.bostoneconomy.com. Among the topics covered in The Boston Economy: • Fascinating local startups and how to join one; • Understanding Boston’s changing marketing and media industry; • Boston’s growing role as an international business hub; • Opportunities and challenges in financial services; • Understanding the leading biotechs and the science behind their success; • Who’s who in the Boston business scene; • Challenges to Boston’s growth: Transportation, housing and workforce development issues.
