05/27/2008, 07:30pm Leaving Long Island Airs on WLIW Channel 21 - LIPC will be featured on WLIW21's New Three-Part series on Tuesday, May 27 through Thursday, May 29 at 7:30 pm
The series examines why young professionals are leaving Nassau and Suffolk counties in record numbers and what this could mean for Long Island’s future. According to Census data, from 1990 to 2006 the number of 25 to 34 year olds declined 8% nationwide, compared to 35% on Long Island. Lack of affordable housing, high taxes and cost of living are affecting those who want to remain and Baby Boomers who are becoming "empty nesters."
