Arthur Woolf, an economist at the University of Vermont, said that by 2030, there would be only two working-age Vermonters for every retiree. Professor Woolf said that the back-to-the-land influx of the 1960's, 70's and 80's, which once had Vermont growing faster than the country as a whole, has dissipated. Professor Woolf said that If he lived in New York or Boston and he wanted to get away from it all, these days it's just as cheap to fly out to Boise, Idaho, or Montana.
