With over 84,000 people working in biopharma jobs across Massachusetts, our industry is a significant part of the state’s economy. Issues beyond drug pricing such as housing, transportation, education, and childcare have significant impacts on the ability for life sciences companies to hire and retain workforce. Making improvements in these areas is critical for the on-going success of our industry and for the economic prosperity of Massachusetts and its residents. In this fireside chat, the panelists will discuss the role that the life sciences industry has in these debates, the potential solutions to some of these issues, and more.
