Welcome . . .

Indiana's population estimates are out. Over the next 35 years, the number of Hoosiers age 65+ will increase by 90%. That means that in 2040, one in five Hoosiers will be of traditional retirement age. Meanwhile, the number of people in the 25-54 age group - a key labor force demographic - will decline.
