Phil Scott: “There's less people working than there were seven years ago.”

“And if they're not doing that, if they're not there, that's 5% of our population. If they're not there, then it puts the burden on the rest of us that are. So There's less people working than there were seven years ago. The workforce has shrunk. So we better pay attention to that demographic that 25 to 45, to lessen the burden on the rest of us and to lessen the affordability crunch that we're feeling.” (01:41–01:44)
