The State of Delaware is seeing an increasing number of seniors moving into the state while millennials are moving out.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that three decades ago 30 percent of the First State’s population was between the ages of 18 and 34.
That figure has declined to 23 percent.
In addition, 61 percent of the people born in Delaware now live somewhere else.
The News Journal reports that economists say millennials are looking for a better labor market where the can build their lives.
This has led Governor Jack Markell to entice such Firms as JP Morgan Chase to the state as well as reinvigorating The Riverfront in Wilmington.
Meanwhile, those over the age of 55 outnumber millennials in all three counties with 40% Sussex County’s population over the age of 55.
