in 2011/2012 will matter much less than
1) population even more aging than now as youth flees state in search of inexpensive education and does not return.
2) even less adults going back to school than now (PA ranks 49th in the country in this) leading to a small labor pool that makes us even less able to attract new employers to the state.
